390.67

Nvidia has released a new "Long Lived Branch" driver, version 390.67.

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/drive...x/134859/en-us

Release Highlights,

Quote:

Fixed a bug that could cause kernel panics when using Quadro SDI Capture hardware.
Fixed a bug that caused kwin OpenGL compositing to crash when launching certain OpenGL applications.
Fixed an intermittent crash when launching Vulkan applications.
Fixed an intermittent crash when launching applications through Wine.
Fixed a bug that caused the driver, in some low bandwidth DisplayPort configurations, to not implicitly enable display dithering. This resulted in visible banding.
Added support for X.Org xserver ABI 24 (xorg-server 1.20).
Improved nvidia-bug-report.sh to check for kern.log which is the default kernel log-file location for many Debian-based Linux distributions.
Fixed a bug which could cause X servers that export a Video Driver ABI earlier than 0.8 to crash when running X11 applications which call XRenderAddTraps().

340.107
The 340.xx legacy branch has been updated with X.Org xserver ABI 24 support among other things:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/drive...x/135160/en-us
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/drive...x/135161/en-us

Quote:

Updated nvidia-installer in the 340.xx legacy driver series to default to installing the driver without the NVIDIA Unified Memory kernel module if this module fails to build at installation time. The 340.xx legacy Unified Memory kernel module is incompatible with recent Linux kernels, and the GPU hardware generations that the 340.xx legacy driver series is intended to support do not support Unified Memory.

Added support for X.Org xserver ABI 24 (xorg-server 1.20).

Improved nvidia-bug-report.sh to check for kern.log which is the default kernel log-file location for many Debian-based Linux distributions.

Fixed a bug which could cause X servers that export a Video Driver ABI earlier than 0.8 to crash when running X11 applications which call XRenderAddTraps().

The release highlights,

Thanks for the warning, this new version doesn't crash vkQuake (from ponce's SBo-git) anymore.

With long lived 390.67 and short lived 396.24 it was crashing few seconds after starting a game,
windowed or full screen, smooth or classic render, doesn't matter.

I was running the 396.24 with dusk kernel 4.17.6 without any other problem,
including 2 days of uptime, for me it is a long uptime.

Now try to play some Quake online (...90's dial-up lag

)

"Latest Short Lived Branch version: 396.45" for x86_64.

"Improved recovery of Vulkan direct-to-display applications after an application hang or crash.
Fixed a bug that could cause multi-threaded EGL applications to crash when exiting."

The release highlights,

Quote:

Added support for the following GPU:
Quadro P3200 with Max-Q Design
Added a new command line option, --override-file-type-destination, to nvidia-installer. This option can be used to override the destination of installed files by file type at installation time.

396.54

Nvidia's Latest Short Lived Branch Driver, version 396.54
is now available at,

https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driv...x/137211/en-us

Release Highlights,

Quote:

Fixed a resource leak introduced in the 390 series of drivers that could lead to reduced performance after starting and stopping several OpenGL and/or Vulkan applications.

RadicalDreamer · 08-21-2018, 09:09 PM

Thanks! I'm going to check it out. Maybe they fixed the CUDA issue.

Regnad Kcin · 08-23-2018, 10:31 PM

I have been using 390.77 for awhile but just upgraded to 396.54 and find no problems at all.

Are you using CUDA? The driver works great otherwise. I'm using it to play Rise of the Tomb Raider because the 396.24 driver freezes the game. I miss my CUVID GPU accelerated video.

Regnad Kcin · 08-24-2018, 12:19 AM

No I don't use CUDA.

I don't do any gaming, as I find computer games
to be rather boring and repetitive.

I do use multiple screens quite a bit which can result in video card issues.

The 396.54 driver seems a bit smoother and there have been no issues thus far.

Nice but this is the NVIDIA thread...I posted a link to your post in the Kernel tread.
