This works when installing using the runfile method, but fails for the packaged drivers. So it definitely appears to be a packaging issue specific to Ubuntu. Confirmed to work on Fedora and Arch with 390-series drivers as well.

I have prepared a minimised testcase that showcases the problem with the latest driver. I have also made sure it works fine with both previous versions 384.90-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 and 384.81-0ubuntu1 in a clean install. Here's the code: https://gist.github.com/funchal/bff0a8d6dae5b3ace1a88c392416b5bc It can be compiled using "gcc main.c -lGL -lEGL". The crash is: egl 1.4 a.out: main.c:59: main: Assertion `renderer' failed. Aborted (core dumped) This is caused by NULL return from glGetString for GL renderer. Note this isn't the only way to cause a crash, for example attempting to use the GL context in other ways will also crash, but this shows the regression in a minimal testcase. Previous drivers successfully complete the testcase with return code 0. I have tested this on both a desktop machine with a GTX 1080, and a display-less server with a Tesla K80, with a fresh Ubuntu install.
