Release highlights since 387.34:

  • Added support for the following GPUs:
    • GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with Max-Q Design
    • GeForce GTX 1070 Ti
    • GeForce MX110
    • GeForce MX130
    • Quadro P500
    • TITAN V
    • TITAN Xp COLLECTORS EDITION
  • Added new application profile settings, "EGLVisibleDGPUDevices" and "EGLVisibleTegraDevices", to control which discrete and Tegra GPU devices, respectively, may be enumerated by EGL. See the "Application Profiles" appendix of the driver README for more details.
  • Corrected the SONAME of the copy of the libnvidia-egl-wayland library included in the .run installer package to libnvidia-egl-wayland.so.1. The SONAME had previously been versioned incorrectly with the full version number of the library.
  • Updated nvidia.ko to veto the ACPI_VIDEO_NOTIFY_PROBE event on kernels that allow the handler for this event to be overridden, to improve interaction between the NVIDIA driver and acpi_video on display hotplug events.
  • Updated the SLI Mosaic layout page in the nvidia-settings control panel to support topologies with up to 32 displays.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented Xinerama Info from being handled properly in SLI or Base Mosaic layouts with more than 24 displays.
  • Updated the X driver's composition pipeline (used for rotation, warp and blend, transformation matrices, etc) to also support stereo.
  • Added an OpenGL stereo preview feature to the screen page in nvidia-settings.
  • Fixed a bug where GetTexSubImage() would read incorrect data into a pixel buffer object when supplied with a target of GL_TEXTURE_1D_ARRAY and a non-zero yoffset value.
  • Added support for generic active stereo with in-band DisplayPort signaling. The X configuration option "InbandStereoSignaling" is deprecated in favor of this stereo mode. See "Appendix B. X Config Options" in the README for more information.
  • Modified the driver to avoid restoring framebuffer console modes on virtual reality head-mounted displays.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause a system crash when using the new NVreg_EnableBacklightHandler kernel module parameter on GPUs with no displays connected.
