It's '32bit driver on 32bit system' support that is being discontinued, not 32bit libraries included with 64bit package.
I'm 99% certain they will continue to ship compatibility bits.

That is what I said.

My bad, this part confused me so I thought you mean multilib systems.

Ah, so. OK, I've change the last line to read, "....32-bit compatibility libraries."

Finally pushed nvidia-390.48 LLB to SBo for those using my scripts and the 14.2 stable kernels. In return, I could really use some help with the Spring yard work...

For those of you who like to be right on the cutting edge, Nvidia
has released a new beta driver, 396.18.05, to fix a bug or two with 396.18.02.

https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver

That is a little too "bleeding edge" for me, so I'll stick with the 396.18.00 driver, for now.

396.18.05 installs ok on my machine after first running the script with the -uninstall option. Otherwise it failed with an error. Runs good with my NVIDIA GTX1060.

A very good point!
I always uninstall the driver before installing a new version or changing the kernel.
BTW, the 396.18 driver is running perfectly with the DUSK 4.16.5 kernel.

I had downloaded the 396.18.05 driver, and at first, all was well. It booted and the desktop came up. What went awry was the games I tried to play. UT3 would not respond to keyboard input. When I reverted to 396.18, then the game responded again. Methinks I will stick also to the 396.18 driver.

396.24

Nvidia has released the first stable "Short Lived Branch" driver
in the 396 series, version 396.24.

It can be downloaded from here, http://www.nvidia.com/Download/drive...x/133859/en-us

Quote:

Release highlights since 396.18:

Added support for the following GPUs:
GeForce GTX 1050 with Max-Q Design
Quadro GV100
Tesla V100-SXM2-32GB
Tesla V100-PCIE-32GB
Tesla V100-DGXS-32GB
Tesla V100-FHHL-16GB

Fixed a regression that caused the current MetaMode's ViewPortIn and ViewPortOut settings to be preserved across RandR modesets. The driver now clears ViewPortIn and ViewPortOut when the mode is set through RandR, restoring the behavior that existed prior to the regression.
Improved error reporting in the Vulkan driver if libnvidia-glvkspirv.so, the new Vulkan SPIR-V compiler added in 396.18, cannot be found at run time.
Fixed performance regressions and corruption issues in the new Vulkan SPIR-V compiler.
Added support for 32-bit PCI domains throughout the NVIDIA driver stack. This support is required for running Linux VMs with recent versions of the pci_hyperv driver on top of Hyper-V.
Added support for X.Org xserver ABI 24 (xorg-server 1.20).

It built and is running fine on this box with the DUSK 4.16.7 kernel.

Nice to know NVIDIA is on top of things in the X.org space, as 1.20 is due out Any Day Now (TM).

Looking forward to all the improvements.

I hope xorg server 1.20 fixes the tearing in the 39X.XX nvidia drivers with force composition pipeline and multiple monitors.

RadicalDreamer · 05-03-2018, 01:13 PM

If the NVIDIA binary driver composition pipeline got you down put this in your Device section in your xorg config to use the old composition pipeline:

Code:

Option "UseNvKmsCompositionPipeline" "false"
