NVIDIA Linux Driver Beta 560.31.02 Out Now

By -

NVIDIA today released a fresh update to the current ongoing 560 Beta driver series with version 560.31.02 bringing some bug fixes. This follows on from the first in the 560 series released in late July.

Here's the changes:

  • Fixed a bug that caused widespread crashing with Xwayland games.
  • Fixed a race condition involving modeset ownership which could lead to flip event timeout errors when enabling the 'fbdev' kernel module parameter in nvidia-drm.
  • Fixed a regression that caused nvidia-powerd to exit when nvidia-dbus.conf was not present in the /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ directory.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause memory corruption while handling ACPI events on some notebooks.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause external displays to become frozen until the next modeset when using PRIME Display Offloading with the NVIDIA dGPU acting as the display offload sink.

See more on the NVIDIA website.

For those of you testing out the 560 series, do comment how you've been getting on.

Quoting: ShabbyX
Quoting: PyrateStadia failing is a net positive, who knows what will happen to gaming if cloud streaming got accepted this early (it's probably inevitable, but the later it happens the better).

Stadia's downfall was a *major* blow to Vulkan. And that in turn majorly affects Linux gaming.

I genuinely don't think people liking Stadia would have helped change this.
