A new display driver for Linux has been released by NVIDIA. This version addresses a number of issues, such as a corruption bug, a bug that caused extra X screens to claim displays, a crash that occurred when graphics applications requested single-buffered drawables, a kernel panic and race condition that caused crashes, and a temporary disablement of the GLX_EXT_buffer_age extension on Xwayland. The change log also includes improvements to nvidia-modprobe's ability to detect kernel module loading.

- Temporarily disabled the GLX_EXT_buffer_age extension on Xwayland to work around a bug that could cause corruption.
- Fixed a bug that could cause corruption when the GLX_EXT_buffer_age extension is used on X.org with PRIME render offloading.
- Improved the ability of nvidia-modprobe to detect whether kernel modules are already loaded. This corrects an issue that prevented nvidia-persistenced from setting persistence mode on some systems.
- Fixed a bug that could cause additional X screens to claim displays that should have been assigned to a prior X screen based on the given X configuration.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to crash when graphics applications requested single-buffered drawables while certain features (such as Vulkan sharpening) are enabled.
- Fixed a bug that could lead to a kernel panic, due to a failure to release a spinlock under some conditions.
- Fixed a race condition which could lead to crashes when Xid errors occur concurrently on multiple GPUs.
