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.

NVIDIA has released a new beta version of its Linux display driver. The GSP firmware is currently utilized by default on all GPUs that support it, and it may be turned off by setting the kernel module parameter 'NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0'. EGL now supports the linux-drm-syncobj-v1 protocol for Wayland explicit sync. The base mosaic on GeForce has been removed. Bugs were fixed, including one that caused wrong colors to be displayed when nvidia-drm was loaded with the fbdev=1 module argument. HDMI 10 bits per component support is enabled by default. There have also been patches for Xid problems, driver build failure, and the ability to use EGL instead of GLX as the OpenGL ICD for NvFBC.
