The GNOME 49 Release Candidate has some interesting changes, especially the re-enablement of X11 support in the GNOME Display Manager (GDM) component by default as the devs find it hard to cleanly separate GDM’s ability to launch modern X11 sessions.

Highlights of the NVIDIA 580 graphics driver series include improved support for Wayland by introducing support for the fifo-v1 Wayland protocol on Vulkan and fixing a bug that could cause GTK 4 apps to crash when using the Vulkan backend on Wayland.

NVIDIA 580 also implements a feature that reduces the time spent in the interrupt top half for low-latency display interrupts by deferring the work until later. This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled by loading nvidia.ko kernel module with the NVreg_RegistryDwords=RmEnableAggressiveVblank=1 parameter.

NVIDIA Releases Linux Display Driver v580.76

After debuting in beta early this month, NVIDIA has rolled out its newest stable Linux display driver update, version 580.76. It is already available for download and is recommended for users seeking the latest improvements for their graphics hardware.

One of the headline additions is a new “OutputBitsPerComponent” MetaMode attribute, letting users manually control the number of bits per color component sent over a display connector. While the driver will still auto-select an optimal format by default, this extra flexibility will be beneficial for those fine-tuning image quality for professional work or high-end displays.
