@zakweb3, thanks a lot! It worked.

I actually found another problem back in February... there was a space on the folder name I was using for the driver file (Linux newbie, I swear I won't do it again!). I managed to compile the driver after fixing that, but there were still things that were not working right. One program in particular was still giving me problems (a Windows CAD software I was running using Wine).

It's my husband's computer, so I waited until he had a more serious crash before fiddling with the driver again... this happened today. So I used your fix for the glvnd library, then recompiled the driver after pulling the mods from github. And lo and behold... not only did it work, it also fixed the problem I was having with my CAD software.

So, thanks a lot for the fix!

Hi Augusto! Yes, it is required. I recommend you look into the nvidia-470xx-linux-mainline repository - it contains scripts to easily install the driver on recent kernels, applying all necessary patches.

@joanbm I'm not sure if this is NVidia 470 related but I noticed hard system freeze when using the video player MPV (latest 0.41 version). When playing H264 videos for about 5 minutes or less, it just freeze the whole system without me being able to look at any kernel crash log or something... I downgraded to MPV 0.38 and everything is working fine now. It uses the VDPAU backends because this is the only possible way to get hardware acceleration. Maybe it might be related to 7.x ffmpeg libs which I updated to latest 8.1.1 while using MPV 0.38. What do you think it might be? There is a thread on MPV github page that refer to hard freeze when using MPV 0.39+ and an older NVidia card. It seems MPV is now defaulting to a new video backends which might be problematic with nividia 470 even if you force VDPAU...
