NVIDIA has released the stable version 555.58 of its graphics driver for Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris platforms with significant new features. The update includes explicit GPU synchronization support for Wayland via the linux-drm-syncobj-v1 protocol, which is key for NVIDIA GPU users looking to use Wayland without graphical glitches. Additionally, the driver offers GSP firmware support, Vulkan Wayland WSI support, and an interactive prompt for selecting between proprietary and open kernel modules. Per-component 10-bit HDMI support by default, the switch from 3.10 to 4.15 as the minimum Linux kernel version, and removal of Base Mosaic support on GeForce cards are also notable changes. Bug fixes in this update address issues like segmentation faults, corruption with the GLX_EXT_buffer_age extension, crashes during Xid errors, incorrect colors on certain kernels, and other system stability problems. Users can download the NVIDIA 555.58 graphics driver for their respective platforms from the official website, with a caution that this version is geared towards advanced users seeking new features.
