NVIDIA has released an updated display driver for 64-bit Linux operating systems, version 580.82.07, addressing critical bugs and incorporating new features. The latest release resolves a bug that caused Vulkan applications to hang or become unresponsive in the Wayland environment and introduces support for NVIDIA Smooth Motion technology on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs. Additionally, the driver corrects an issue with the Linux kernel's system interface, ensuring accurate reporting of NVIDIA GPU connector status.
NVIDIA has rolled out an updated display driver for 64-bit Linux operating systems, specifically designed for AMD64 and EM64T architectures. The latest release, version 580.82.07, was made available on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, and comes with a total file size of approximately 396.36 MB. This update is particularly noteworthy due to the resolution of a critical bug that had been plaguing Vulkan applications running in the Wayland display server.
The said bug, introduced in driver version 580.65.06, caused applications to hang or become unresponsive. However, with this latest release, users can now enjoy uninterrupted performance and seamless graphics rendering. Furthermore, NVIDIA has incorporated support for its cutting-edge Smooth Motion technology, which is now accessible to users equipped with GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs.
Another significant improvement in the updated driver concerns the Linux kernel's system interface located at /sys/class/drm/.../enabled. In previous releases, this interface would consistently report the status of NVIDIA GPU connectors as "disabled," even when they were actively operational. This discrepancy has been rectified with the latest release, ensuring that users have an accurate representation of their GPU connector status.
The updated driver, version 580.82.07, addresses these critical issues and provides a more reliable and efficient experience for Linux users. By resolving long-standing bugs and incorporating innovative features like NVIDIA Smooth Motion technology, this release signifies an important move forward in the world of graphics rendering and display technology.
Key highlights of the update include:
- Resolution of a critical bug affecting Vulkan applications running in Wayland
- Incorporation of support for NVIDIA Smooth Motion technology on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs
- Correction of an issue concerning the Linux kernel's system interface for NVIDIA GPU connectors
With this latest release, users can expect improved performance, stability, and graphics rendering capabilities.
