No news on the extensions needed to enable async reprojection in VR ?

This is the (beta) driver for Vulkan 1.2. Probably the wrong place to ask about that.

For me the whole 440.66.* beta driver series fails to build with DKMS on Fedora 31 & 32.
440.82 builds fine.

Was wondering if that was still an issue since Nvidia doesn't seem to be mentioning anything with the dev drivers.

You can use an older kernel on Fedora 31 but on Fedora 32 would probably have to use one from when it was in beta as kernels when it hit release were right at the time when the failures started. DKMS would build fine that way. Only problem is that Fedora wants you to update the kernel so would need to block it or continually uninstall each one after updating.

I wish they'd just open source their control panel, that be nice as it has some annoying bugs NVIDIA ignore.

lol how funny would it be to fork this and make it runable on amd cards ...some people here have asked for some gui for the amd driver

[allquixotic]

Is there any easier way to get this on Ubuntu than to download the .run file?
