NVIDIA today released NVIDIA 525.78.01 graphics drivers for GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris to address some bugs in previous versions.
NVIDIA 525.78.01 resolves an issue that prevented the display of G-SYNC / G-SYNC compatible visual indicators and fixes a bug that could cause applications to crash with a Xid 32 error — using the VK_KHR_present_id Vulkan extension to improve support for Vulkan X11 application support.
This release also fixes an NVidia-settings control panel crash that occurred when using older versions of NVIDIA graphics drivers with newer control panels, as well as a bug that caused high CPU usage in mixed graphics configurations when an external display was connected to a discrete NVIDIA graphics card and configured as a PRIME Display Offload receiver. high usage bug in mixed graphics configurations when an external display is connected to a standalone NVIDIA graphics card and configured as a PRIME Display Offload receiver.
NVIDIA 525.78.01 graphics driver is now available for download from the official website and is marked as the “latest production branch release”, which means it is recommended to install it on production devices using NVIDIA 525.60.11 or earlier versions of the driver.
The download is available for 64-bit and ARM64 (AArch64) Linux platforms, as well as 64-bit FreeBSD and x64/x86 Solaris systems.
Those who wish to install the open-source GPU kernel module can check out the NVIDIA Linux Open GPU Kernel Module GitHub page. If manual installation is not an option, users will need to wait for a new driver version to hit the GNU/Linux distribution stable repositories for updates.
