NVIDIA 565 Linux Graphics Driver Is Now Available for Download, Here’s What’s New
The NVIDIA 565.77 graphics driver is here more than three months after the NVIDIA 560 release and re-enables the GLX_EXT_buffer_age OpenGL extension on Xwayland, adds support for mmap of exported DMA-BUF objects, and adds several new per-plane and per-CRTC vendor-specific properties to nvidia-drm, which Wayland compositors can use to program the GPU’s color pipeline for HDR hardware acceleration.
It also introduces a driver optimization to mitigate the performance loss from the ‘d3d9.floatEmulation’ option in DXVK, reduces some cases of stutter with OpenGL syncing to vblank while using the GSP firmware, implements support for the VK_EXT_depth_clamp_control Vulkan extension, and updates the framelock settings page of the nvidia-settings control panel to use GTK3 theme text color.

NVIDIA Releases Linux Display Driver 565.77
NVIDIA has rolled out its newest Linux display driver update, version 565.77. It is already available for download and is recommended for users seeking the latest improvements for their graphics hardware.
One of the release’s key highlights is the resolution of several persistent bugs that have impacted various applications. For instance, a notable fix has been applied to the i2c handling bug that led to OpenRGB setting incorrect LED colors on some NVIDIA GPUs.
This long-awaited update should provide significant relief to users relying on OpenRGB for customization. Additionally, NVIDIA has updated the “nvidia-modprobe” utility to better detect whether kernel modules are already loaded, correcting an issue that previously affected the “nvidia-persistenced” service.
