NVIDIA 560.35.03 Linux Driver Released With More Wayland Fixes

([NVIDIA] 92 Minutes Ago NVIDIA 560.35.03)


Building off the prior NVIDIA 560 beta driver releases, the NVIDIA 560.35.03 stable Linux driver was released today for providing the latest official NVIDIA graphics/compute support for Linux systems.

The NVIDIA 560 driver series in general is full of great additions introduced by the earlier betas. The NVIDIA 560 Linux driver series switches over to using the open GPU kernel modules by default for supported hardware, VRR support for laptops atop the open kernel drivers, new EGL extensions for XWayland, a PipeWire backend for NvFBC, and a variety of other Wayland enhancements and fixes.

Today's NVIDIA 560.35.03 driver is focused on just further stabilizing the R560 driver branch for Linux use. There are a couple more Wayland fixes and other fixes that have been collected in recent weeks. Highlights include:

- Fixed a bug, introduced in 555.58, where some DVI outputs would not work with HDMI monitors.

- Fixed a bug that could cause KDE Plasma Shell to freeze while hovering over or opening applets when running in Wayland compositor mode.

- Fixed a bug that could cause the display to freeze when presenting windows using Wayland direct scanout on multiple monitors.

- Fixed a bug that could cause kernel crashes upon attempting KMS operations through DRM when nvidia_drm was loaded with modeset=0.

"No program is perfect,"
They said with a shrug.
"The customer's happy--
What's one little bug?"

But he was determined, Then change two, then three more,
The others went home. As year followed year.
He dug out the flow chart And strangers would comment,
Deserted, alone. "Is that guy still here?"

Night passed into morning. He died at the console
The room was cluttered Of hunger and thirst
With core dumps, source listings. Next day he was buried
"I'm close," he muttered. Face down, nine edge first.

Chain smoking, cold coffee, And his wife through her tears
Logic, deduction. Accepted his fate.
"I've got it!" he cried, Said "He's not really gone,
"Just change one instruction." He's just working late."
