The NVIDIA 560 beta driver last month brought the open GPU kernel modules being used by default, VRR support for notebooks on the open kernel modules, various new EGL extensions for XWayland use, a PipeWire backend for NvFBC, and various other fixes -- including Wayland fixes. - Fixed a race condition involving modeset ownership which could lead to flip event timeout errors when enabling the 'fbdev' kernel module parameter in nvidia-drm.
