NVIDIA has launched version 580.119.02 of its graphics driver for Linux, BSD, and Solaris systems. The update addresses several display and compatibility issues reported by users. It serves as the latest recommended production branch for NVIDIA GPU users.
On December 11, 2025, NVIDIA announced the release of its 580.119.02 graphics driver, targeting GPUs on Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris platforms. This update in the 580 series focuses on resolving various technical glitches to improve stability and performance.
Key fixes include addressing display corruption on LG Ultragear monitors in specific modes. It also corrects corruption issues in the X-Plane video game when running on workstation NVIDIA GPUs. A regression from the earlier 580.65.06 version, which removed certain mode timings such as 1920×1080@75, has been rectified.
Additional improvements tackle incorrect Dots Per Inch (DPI) reporting on monitors like the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9. The driver resolves multiple problems preventing Vulkan applications from functioning on the Venus VirtIO virtual GPU. It also fixes EGL platform bugs that hindered multisample configurations.
Furthermore, the release reverts a prior change that invalidated display modes on various monitors, responding to user regressions. Users can download binary installers for 64-bit and AArch64 (ARM64) GNU/Linux distributions from NVIDIA's official website. Installation is also possible via stable repositories in popular GNU/Linux distributions. Binaries are provided for 64-bit FreeBSD and both 32-bit and 64-bit Solaris systems.
As the current production branch, NVIDIA 580.119.02 is recommended for all users seeking reliable graphics support. For full details, the changelog on NVIDIA's site outlines all implemented changes.
