NVIDIA has released a new display driver for Linux



RELEASE HIGHLIGHTS

Added support for the following GPU:
Quadro P4000 with Max-Q Design

Fixed an intermittent hang when using Vulkan to present directly to display with the VK_KHR_display extension. SteamVR was particularly affected by that hang.
Disabled G-SYNC in desktop environments, such as Budgie, that use libmutter-0.so.

An existing rule to disable G-SYNC for libmutter.so no longer applied after the library was renamed to libmutter-0.so.
Updated nvidia-installer to label kernel modules with SELinux file type 'modules_object_t'. Some system SELinux policies only permit loading of kernel modules with this SELinux file type.
Removed support for checking for and downloading updated driver packages and precompiled kernel interfaces from nvidia-installer. This functionality was limited to unencrypted ftp and http, and was implemented using code that is no longer actively maintained.
