Thanks,

I normally certainly prefer the stability of the long-lived releases.
I noticed an update was just released of the long-lived release:
384.111.
The notes for this release say:

That sounds very much like my issue. I will verify next Monday if that
solves it for me. Can I assume that new 384.111 release will make it
into the main elrepo repository eventually?

I can confirm the 384.111 version fixes the DVI problems with the
NVS-315.

I've just built and released 384.111 to the elrepo main repository, so 
it should show up on the mirrors shortly.


Thanks for the confirmation it fixes the issue. I've just updated my 
local machine, which was unaffected by this issue, ran a few quick tests 
(glmark2) and can confirm 384.11 looks fine on my hardware.


Just keep in mind, this will be a package 'downgrade' from version 
387.34 in the elrepo testing repository due to the lower version number.
