NVIDIA has released new Linux display drivers with a workaround for Steam Play title DOOM Eternal and fixes for a driver installation failure on Linux kernel 5.6 release candidates.

Release Highlights

• Added a workaround for Steam Play title DOOM Eternal, which overrides application requested memory locations, to ensure performance-critical resources be placed in video memory.
• Allow presenting from queue families which only expose VK_QUEUE_COMPUTE_BIT when using XCB in addition to Xlib surfaces.
• Fixed a bug that caused render-offloaded applications to crash on exit.
• Fixed a driver installation failure on Linux kernel 5.6 release candidates, where the NVIDIA kernel module failed to build with error "implicit declaration of function 'timespec_to_ns'".
• Fixed a driver installation failure on Linux kernel 5.6 release candidates, where the NVIDIA kernel module failed to build with error "implicit declaration of function 'getrawmonotonic'".
• Fixed a driver installation failure on Linux kernel 5.6 release candidates, where the NVIDIA kernel module failed to build with error "implicit declaration of function 'timespec_to_ns'".
• Fixed a driver installation failure on Linux kernel 5.6 release candidates, where the NVIDIA kernel module failed to build with error "implicit declaration of function 'getrawmonotonic'".
• Fixed a driver installation failure on Linux kernel 5.6 release candidates, where the NVIDIA kernel module failed to build with error "implicit declaration of function 'getnstimeofday'".
• Fixed a driver installation failure on Linux kernel 5.6 release candidates, where the NVIDIA kernel module failed to build with error "dereferencing pointer to incomplete type 'struct timeval'".
• Fixed a driver installation failure on Linux kernel 5.6 release candidates, where the NVIDIA kernel module failed to build with error "implicit declaration of function 'jiffies_to_timespec'".
