Issue of Proprietary Driver NVIDIA 525.60.11

Thereleaseofthenewbranchoftheproprietarydriver nvidia 525.60.11 . The driver is available for Linux (ARM64, X86_64), FreeBSD (X86_64) and Solaris (X86_64). NVIDIA 525.X became the third stable branch after the NVIDIA components operating at the nucleus level opening. The initial texts of the nuclei modules nvidia.ko, nvidia-drm.ko (Direct Rendering Manager), Nvidia-modeset.ko and Nvidia-uvm.ko (Unified Video Memory) from the NVIDIA 525.60.11, as well as the total components used in them. Not attached to the operating system, published on github. Firmware and library user, such as Cuda, Opengl and Vulkan, remain proprietary stacks.

The main innovations:

  • Added support GPU GeForce RTX 30 [5789] 0 Ti, RTX A500, RTX A [12345] 000, T550, GeForce MX550, MX570, GeForce RTX 2050, PG509-210 and GeForce RTX 3050.
  • NVIDIA-SETTINGS utility is delivered from a strict binding to GTK 2 when assembling the source texts and can now be assembled with GTK 2, GTK 3 or simultaneously with GTK 2 and GTK 3.
  • The ability to use the Dynamic Boost mechanism on laptops with the CPU AMD, which allows us to balance energy consumption between CPU and GPU to increase productivity. Problems are solved using Dynamic Boost on some laptops with GPU AMPERE.
  • Errors that lead to twitching when moving windows in GNOME and the inability to go into sleep mode on systems with GNOME 3 based on Wayland with included NVREG_PRESERVEVIDEMEMORYALLOCATIONS.
  • Added support for egl expression Egl_mesa_platform_surfaceless, which allows the drawing to the memory area.
  • In the NVIDIA-SETTINGS panel, the SLI Mosaic configuration implements protection against creating the screen layouts in which a size exceeding hardware is set.
  • In the set of open modules for the Linux nucleus
    Contractions of Quadro Sync, Stereo, screen rotation for X11 and YUV 4: 2: 0 on GPU with turing.
  • architecture.

  • Increased application performance using Prime technology for the removal of transaction operations to other GPU (Prime Display Offload).
