Phoronix: NVIDIA 565.77 Linux Driver Released As First Stable R565 Build

For the past month and a half the NVIDIA R565 Linux driver series has been in public beta with a number of (X)Wayland improvements, DMA-BUF enhancements, VKD3D fixes, and a variety of other enhancements. Today the NVIDIA 565.77 Linux driver was released as the first stable build in the series...

Sadly it is not a stable/latest production branch release (which is still on 550.135) but just the latest feature branch release

Hope they stabilized the suspend/resume feature, because the 560 and 565 beta drivers were terrible at that.

It's a necessary progress.

These are some improvements applied on Wayland usage too:

1. Added a new application profile key, "GLVidHeapReuseRatio", to control the amount of memory OpenGL may hold for later reuse, as well as some application profiles for several Wayland compositors using the new key to work around issues with excessive video memory usage.
2. Fixed a bug that could lead to crashes when a Vulkan application waits on a VkFence created by importing a DRM syncobj. This solves some crashes observed with Unreal Engine and other applications on Wayland.
3. Fixed a bug that could cause KDE Plasma 6 to crash when running as a Wayland compositor.

Some of the suspend/resume issues were caused by the internal breakage in Linux 6.11. Please retest with 6.12.2.

Were there other kernel issues beyond the systemd freeze session ones? My all AMD AM5 desktop was totally fubar'd for suspend / resume on 6.11. The suggested drop-ins didn't fix it for me. Just wondering if there are other issues I should be tracking.

Did they improve GSP performance?

I'm surprised they haven't split off Maxwell/Pascal into a legacy branch yet.

I'll continue waiting for Multi VRR under wayland.

They're not AMD
