    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The next big stable update to the NVIDIA proprietary driver for Linux with version 555.58 bringing Wayland Explicit Sync.

    Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to crash when graphics applications requested single-buffered drawables while certain features (such as Vulkan sharpening) are enabled.

    Removed support for Base Mosaic on GeForce, which was previously available only on select GPU boards with some motherboards, and limited to five display devices.

    Fixed a bug that caused “Failed to apply atomic modeset” and “Flip event timeout” messages to be printed to the system log when a DRM client such as ddcutil drops “master” permissions while a framebuffer console is being initialized.

    This presentation mode instructs the compositors not to wait for a vertical blanking period to update the application’s surface content, which may result in tearing.

    Fixed a regression that led to Xid errors when loading the NVIDIA driver on some notebook systems with RTX 4xxx series GPUs.
