Linuxiac ☛ NVIDIA Releases Linux Display Driver v580 Beta
NVIDIA has released a fresh beta update to its Linux display driver lineup with version 580.65, now available for 64-bit Linux systems, which brings some important Wayland and Vulkan-related fixes.
For example, it addresses a pesky bug that could cause Vulkan apps to hang whenever a swapchain gets destroyed after a lost device event. Moreover, if you’re running GTK 4 apps on Wayland and hitting crashes when using the Vulkan backend, that’s fixed, too.
There’s even a fix for llama.cpp crashing on exit when using Vulkan, addressing a problem called out directly in the community. Plus, Wayland users get support for the new fifo-v1 protocol with Vulkan, which helps keep things running more smoothly in next-generation Linux desktops.
