Nvidia Linux Display Driver is a proprietary OpenGL video driver that tries to bring bleeding-edge features for graphics cards produced by Nvidia and used under a GNU/Linux operating system. Both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x86_64) architectures are supported at this time.

Officially, the Nvidia Linux Display Driver supports a wide range of Nvidia graphics cards, much more than the open source Nouveau driver supports. Most of the ION, ION LE, Quadro Plex, Quadro Sync, GRID, NVS, nForce Professional 3000, Quadro FX, Quadro Blade, as well as all the GeForce series are supported at this time.

What News on Nvidia Linux Display Driver 64-bit 364.12

Added support for the following GPUs:

• GeForce 920MX
• GeForce 930MX
• Fixed a regression that caused GPU exceptions and incorrect rendering when using pbuffers with EGLDevice.
• Fixed a bug that caused nvidia-settings to crash when pairing glasses with the 3D Vision Pro transmitter on some systems.
• Fixed a bug that caused installer manifest entries for some 32-bit compatibility libraries to be duplicated in the installer package.
• Fixed a regression that caused the HSync and VSync mode timing polarity flags to be inverted.
• Changed the default OpenGL installation type to use the GLVND GLX client libraries rather than the legacy non-GLVND libraries.
• Added initial support for Direct Rendering Manager Kernel Modesetting (DRM KMS). See the DRM KMS section of the README for details.
• Added a new kernel module, nvidia-drm.ko, which registers as a DRM driver with both PRIME and DRM KMS support.

Added support for the following EGL extensions:

• EGL_EXT_platform_wayland
• to enable Wayland applications to run on NVIDIA’s EGL implementation,
• EGL_WL_bind_wayland_display
• to enable Wayland compositors to run on NVIDIA’s EGL implementation, and
• EGL_EXT_device_drm
• EGL_EXT_output_drm
• EGL_EXT_stream_consumer_egloutput
• to enable Mir and Wayland compositors to display their content through EGLDevice, EGLOutput, and EGLstreams.
• Added a Wayland platform library, libnvidia-egl-wayland.so, to allow Wayland compositors that support EGLDevice, EGLOutput, and EGLstreams to share EGL buffers with Wayland applications.
• Fixed a bug that could cause incorrect frame rate reporting on Quadro Sync configurations with multiple GPUs.
• Added support for the Vulkan API version 1.0.
• Improved X colormap precision from 8 significant bits to 11 on GeForce GPUs. Quadro GPUs already used 11 bits of precision.
• Added a new RandR property, CscMatrix, which specifies a 3×4 color-space conversion matrix. The matrix is applied after the X colormap and before the gamma ramp. This property is available on GF119 and newer GPUs.
• Improved handling of the X gamma ramp on GF119 and newer GPUs. On these GPUs, the RandR gamma ramp is always 1024 entries and now applies to the cursor and VDPAU or workstation overlays in addition to the X root window
• Reworked how the NVIDIA driver registers with the Linux kernel’s DRM subsystem for PRIME support. As a result, PRIME support requires Linux kernel version 3.13 or newer (previously, PRIME support required Linux kernel version 3.10 or newer).
• Improved the interactivity of applications that use a hardware cursor while G-SYNC is active.
