Nvidia has released new production branch Linux drivers for their graphics cards.
Release Highlights
- Fixed a bug that could cause the nvidia-settings control panel to crash when resetting the display layout.
- Fixed a bug that could cause excessive GPU power consumption at idle when driving multiple displays with a high refresh rate.
- Fixed a bug in nvidia-powerd which could cause excessive CPU usage.
- Fixed an issue which could cause applications to run at 1 FPS when using an NVIDIA PRIME Display Offload sink as the only active display.
- Added compatibility for Linux kernels with Indirect Branch Tracking (IBT).
- Fixed a bug that could cause fullscreen PRIME Render Offload applications and/or X to crash when an NVIDIA GPU is driving multiple displays with Reverse PRIME.
- Added support for console restoration when using simpledrm.
- Updated nvidia-modprobe to create symbolic links in /dev/char when creating the /dev/nvidia* device nodes. This resolves an issue that prevented the device nodes from working with newer versions of runc:
