Nvidia Linux Display Driver 346.22 Beta

Nvidia Linux Display Driver 346.22 Beta is released, Available for Linux 64 & 32 bit (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, Debian, Redhat, OpenSUSE, Slackware, Arch Linux, Mageia, Manjaro and Most Popular Linux Distro), FreeBSD, Linux ARM

Nvidia Linux Display Driver Beta is a proprietary OpenGL video driver that tries to bring bleeding-edge features for graphics cards produced by Nvidia and used under a GNU/Linux operating system. Both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x86_64) architectures are supported at this time.

Release highlights since 346.16:

• Added support for X.Org xserver ABI 19 (xorg-server 1.17).
  
• Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
  
• Fixed a bug that prevented internal 4K panels on some laptops from being driven at a sufficient bandwidth to support their native resolutions.
  
• Fixed a regression that prevented the NVIDIA kernel module from loading in some virtualized environments such as Amazon Web Services.
  
• Fixed a regression that caused displays to be detected incorrectly on some notebook systems.
  
• Fixed a bug that could cause X to freeze when using Base Mosaic.
  
• Fixed a regression that prevented the NVIDIA X driver from recognizing Base Mosaic layouts generated by the nvidia-settings control panel.

Fair warning!

Before reading further, please keep in mind that this is a Beta version. Even if it brings all the latest features and fixes annoying bugs from previous or current stable releases of the driver, it is still an unstable piece of software that may cause unpredictable issues or damage your hardware. Because of this, we do not recommend to install this Beta driver on production machines. You have been warned!
