NVIDIA has released Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver 565.77 to resolve multiple issues and enhance performance.

The driver has resolved an issue in i2c handling that led to the OpenRGB application displaying incorrect LED colors on certain NVIDIA GPUs. Under conditions of limited display bandwidth, the driver has modified the fallback preference from 10 BPC YUV422 to 8 BPC RGB with dithering. The driver has introduced a new application profile key, "GLVidHeapReuseRatio," which regulates the quantity of memory that OpenGL can retain for future reuse.

The NVIDIA Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver 560.28.03 Beta has been released, which includes a number of bug fixes and improvements.

These include updating nvidia-installer to use NVIDIA open GPU kernel modules by default, resolving a bug that caused GPU driver installation to fail, addressing rendering corruption issues, and dealing with several failures or unusual behaviors. The driver additionally supports EGL_KHR_platform_x11 and EGL_EXT_platform_xcb on Xwayland, has a PipeWire backend for NvFBC, supports many concurrent clients, reports Vulkan information, and improves glXWaitVideoSyncSGI().

NVIDIA has published a new display driver for Linux featuring bug fixes and enhancements. These include fixing segmentation faults when running multi-threaded NvFBC applications, temporarily disabling the GLX_EXT_buffer_age extension on Xwayland, preventing X server crashes when graphics applications request single-buffered drawables, preventing kernel panics caused by spinlock failures, and addressing race conditions that could cause crashes if Xid errors occur concurrently on multiple GPUs. The GSP firmware is now enabled by default on all GPUs that support it, and the linux-drm-syncobj-v1 protocol for Wayland explicit sync in EGL has been added.

A new beta display driver for Linux has been released by NVIDIA. Multiple issues were fixed in the change log, such as segmentation faults, corruption, X server crashes, kernel panics, and race situations. The GLX_EXT_buffer_age extension was temporarily disabled on Xwayland and X.org, crashes were fixed when single-buffered drawables were requested, and race situations were fixed as well.

A new display driver for Linux has been released by NVIDIA. This version addresses a number of issues, such as a corruption bug, a bug that caused extra X screens to claim displays, a crash that occurred when graphics applications requested single-buffered drawables, a kernel panic and race condition that caused crashes, and a temporary disablement of the GLX_EXT_buffer_age extension on Xwayland. The change log also includes improvements to nvidia-modprobe's ability to detect kernel module loading.
