NVIDIA has released new Linux beta display drivers.

Release Highlights

• Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to be more consistent about displaying layout controls which are only applicable for some displays or GPUs connected to the system.
• Improved X11 DrawText() performance when rendering stippled text.
• Fixed a bug that could prevent some hardware configurations with large numbers of displays connected to the same GPU from working correctly.
• Fixed a bug that could cause multi-threaded GLX applications to hang while attempting to handle an XError.
• Fixed a potential crash in the Vulkan driver when clearing images with multiple layers.
• Fixed a bug with the host-visible device-local memory heap, where if an allocation failed due to space constraints, it could cause the application to crash on future Vulkan function calls.
• Fixed corruption in the Vulkan driver that sometimes occurred with shadow rendering with image arrays.
• Added support for the VK_KHR_synchronization2 extension.
• Added support for the VK_KHR_workgroup_memory_explicit_layout extension.
• Added support for the VK_KHR_zero_initialize_workgroup_memory extension.
• Added support for linear images for use with host-visible video memory in Vulkan.
• Fixed an issue with OpenGL where imported Vulkan buffers would fail with GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY when marked as resident.
• Fixed a bug that caused the NVIDIA driver to retain an incorrect memory mapping of the UEFI system console when booting with the kernel parameter pci=realloc. This could cause the console to corrupt memory in use by the NVIDIA driver, and vice versa.
• Runtime D3 Power Management is now enabled by default on supported notebook systems with Ampere or newer GPUs. See the chapter titled "PCI-Express Runtime D3 (RTD3) Power Management" in the README for further details.
• Updated the .run package installer to install and enable the nvidia-suspend.service, nvidia-hibernate.service, and nvidia-resume.service systemd units. These units are used when the NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 nvidia module parameter is specified to provide advanced suspend, hibernate, and resume functionality.
• See the chapter titled "Configuring Power Management Support" in the README for more information.
• This functionality can be disabled by passing the --no-systemd parameter to the installer.
• Updated the NVIDIA X driver to allow OpenGL applications running on an X server that has left the active virtual terminal (VT) to continue running on the GPU, but with a limited frame rate.
• This functionality is only enabled when the NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 nvidia module parameter is enabled.
• Fix a Vulkan clamping bug where fragment depth values would not be clamped to the range [0,1] if VK_EXT_depth_range_unrestricted was not enabled.
• Fix a bug related to SPIR-V 1.4 non-Input/Output entry point variables.
• Fixed a bug in compilation of SPIR-V intersection shaders when modules with multiple entry points are used.
