This driver version works with d9vk

Wouldn't

VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive

require support in the compositor?

Wouldn't

VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive

require support in the compositor?

Video driver can display whatever it wants when it wants, without support from anything. Convenient for "exclusive" use.

Has anyone managed to install these drivers on Kernels 5.1.x? With 418.52.10 I had to pass --no-drm and --no-unified-memory to install it, with 418.52.14 it got worse as it fails to build even with these 2 commands.

The only solution I found so far is to drop down to Kernel 5.0.21 to be able to install 418.52.14 (also using --no-drm command).

The 418.52.14 Linux driver didn't add support for VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive, the Windows one did.
