Current Vulkan denylist handling for nVidia GPUs can be relaxed to specific Vulkan drivers. Can we add a compare="less" version="457.36.0"? https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/f8d6eb6f171dbcf7e3aa4afa0da32bd504f473dc%5E%21 Seems latest nVidia driver sets are again behaving. Driver Version 27.21.14.5709 (2020-10-27) RenderMethod: vulkan Vendor: 0x10de Device: 0xffe API: 1.2.142 Driver: 457.36.0 DeviceType: discrete DeviceName: Quadro K2000 Denylisted: yes
Luboš Luňák committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/f413852e657dc524b3d2773862e788dfc6595d8d block nvidia drivers for vulkan only for version<457.36.0 (tdf#138145) It will be available in 7.1.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
The relaxed denylist handling for nVidia drivers would not resolve the 7.0 release minimize/maximize loss of canvas control of bug 135370. Driver updates do not help. But all is good with master against 7.1.0 release. Blocking all nVidia Vulkan rendering should probably continue for the 7.0 release.
I do not intend to backport this.
(In reply to Luboš Luňák from comment #3) > I do not intend to backport this. +1, the denylist is sufficient, easy enough to bypass for those unaffected.
