NVIDIA has released a new Linux x64 Display Driver, version 580.119.02, which addresses several issues from earlier versions. A particularly annoying bug that caused visual distortions on LG Ultragear monitors in specific modes is now fixed, and workstation GPUs with X-Plane are also no longer affected by a long-standing problem. The driver reverts changes made in previous versions that resulted in missing display options for certain resolutions and fixes user-reported issues with specific monitors causing display mode problems. Additionally, the update improves DPI reporting on Samsung's Odyssey Neo G9 and resolves graphics performance issues with Vulkan apps on certain systems.

NVIDIA has released a new Linux x64 Display Driver, version 580.119.02. This update tackles some of the pain points from earlier versions.
A particularly annoying bug, which messed up the display on LG Ultragear monitors in specific modes by causing weird visual distortions and artifacts, is fixed. That should make a noticeable difference for users with those screens.
There's also good news for people using workstation GPUs with X-Plane; this long-standing problem has finally been resolved. This could significantly smooth things over for intensive applications like that.
The driver rollbacks a change from version 580.65.06, where certain display modes disappeared, think resolutions like 1920x1080 at 75 Hz became unavailable. Reverting this restores the expected options.
Beyond reverting regressions, there are fixes for other user-reported issues with specific monitors causing display mode problems. Hopefully, that prevents frustrating setup failures and keeps things stable.
Elsewhere, they've improved DPI reporting on certain screens, like Samsung's Odyssey Neo G9. Users shouldn't see inaccurate numbers anymore, getting correct values should clarify things.
For graphics performance, especially in Vulkan apps using the Venus VirtIO virtual GPU or newer Volta hardware, several issues have been nixed. This might help ensure smoother operation for some gaming and compute scenarios on these systems.
Finally, some EGL platform bugs that could mess with multisample settings are addressed too. Specifically, fixes were pulled into egl-x11 (PR #28) to sort out problems related to Wayland rendering (issue #9 in egl-wayland2) and X11 configurations (issue #29).
