14 DAY TRIAL // Nvidia released a new long-lived branch of its proprietary graphics drivers for GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris operating systems to add support for the recently released X.Org Server 1.20 display server and various other improvements.
The Nvidia GeForce 390.67 proprietary graphics driver is currently the most advanced long-lived branch, recommended to all users with a Nvidia graphics card. According to the changelog, the biggest new feature of the Nvidia GeForce 390.67 graphics driver is support for the X.Org Server 1.20 display server (ABI 24), though it also improves the script that checks for kern.log for Debian-based distributions.
The Nvidia GeForce 390.67 proprietary graphics driver also addresses some intermittent crashes that occurred when launching Vulkan applications and Wine-based apps. Furthermore, it fixes a bug with Quadro SDI Capture hardware that might have caused kernel panics, and a KWin compositing crash when launching some OpenGL apps.
DisplayPort and X server improvements
Also fixed in the Nvidia 390.67 is a bug that might have caused the driver to enable display dithering implicitly on some systems that had low-bandwidth DisplayPort configurations, which may lead to visible banding, as well as an issue causing the X.Org Server with Video Driver ABI 0.8 or lower to crash when running X11 apps that call the XRenderAddTraps() function.
The Nvidia GeForce 390.67 proprietary graphics driver is supported on both 64-bit (x86_64/AMD64/EM64T) and 32-bit (x86) platforms on FreeBSD and Solaris systems, as well as on 64-bit, 32-bit, and ARM platforms on Linux machines. You can download Nvidia 390.67 for 64-bit Linux, 32-bit Linux, ARM Linux, as well as 64-bit/32-bit FreeBSD and Solaris systems right now through our web portal or directly from Nvidia's downloads page for UNIX-like systems.
