Nvidia Linux Display Driver is a proprietary, yet freely distributed OpenGL video driver that aims to offer support for Nvidia graphics cards on any Linux kernel-based operating system.
This version has been designed to be installed only computers supporting the 64/32 -bit architecture.
This Version 367.44 released on 23rd August 2016 with a fix of bugs and support to new GPU's
New GPU's
- TITAN X (Pascal)
- GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
- GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a regression that caused applications using indirect GLX to crash.
- Fixed a regression introduced in 367.35 that caused the first modeset of the X server to display blank if the features requested in the X configuration file enabled the X driver's composition pipeline. This would be triggered, e.g., by MetaMode tokens such as ForceCompositionPipeline, ForceFullCompositionPipeline, Rotation, Reflection, and Transform.
