NVIDIA 595.99 fixes Blackwell display scaling corruption and adds Linux 7.0 compatibility
↗
NVIDIA released Linux driver 595.99, a Production Branch update that fixes display corruption on Blackwell GPUs with output scaling enabled, black screens during virtual console switches, suspend failures after hibernation, and adds compatibility with Linux kernel 7.0 when DRM fbdev is disabled.
This release addresses several stability issues affecting Blackwell GPU users and systems running newer Linux kernels. The Linux 7.0 compatibility fix is particularly relevant as distributions adopt newer kernel releases that disable DRM fbdev by default. Engineers deploying Blackwell GPUs or upgrading kernels should test this driver for their specific workloads.
