- Update to version 550.54.14
  * Fixed a bug that caused HDMI FRL displays to flicker or blank when
    enabling VRR with 8 bits per color channel.
  * Fixed a regression introduced with the 550.40.07 beta driver which
    caused corrupted window decorations in some applications when running
    on GNOME.
  * Fixed a bug where vkAcquireNextImageKHR() was not returning
    VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DATE_KHR when it should with WSI X11 swapchains.
  * Fixed a bug where fences passed to VkSwapchainPresentFenceInfoEXT could
    signal earlier than expected when a WSI X11 swapchain becomes out of date.
  * Fixed Xid errors on Hogwarts Legacy and Forza Horizon 4.
  * Fixed an issue that sometimes caused Wayland applications to run at less
    than one frame per second on Maxwell, Volta, and Pascal series GPUs.
  * Added support for the VK_KHR_video_encode_queue,
    VK_KHR_video_encode_h264, VK_KHR_video_encode_h265 and
    VK_KHR_video_maintenance1 extensions.
  * Fixed a bug that caused an intermittent drop in desktop framerate.
  * Fixed a bug that caused "Flip event timeout" messages to be printed to the
    system log when displays are hotplugged when nvidia-drm is loaded with the
    `fbdev=1` kernel module parameter.
  * Fixed intermittent Xid errors on Horizon Zero Dawn, Metro Exodus,
    Forza Horizon 5, and Halo Infinite.
  * Fixed a bug which prevented the "NoMaxPClkCheck" mode validation token
    from working on single-link TMDS (e.g. DVI, HDMI) outputs.
  * Fixed a bug that allowed VRR displays to be driven below their minimum
    refresh rate, resulting in a blank or flickering image.
  * Added an application profile to improve Kwin performance on hybrid GPU
    systems by setting OGL_DEDICATED_HW_STATE_PER_CONTEXT=ENABLE_ROBUST.
  * Updated the build process for NVIDIA kernel modules to honor the
    INSTALL_MOD_DIR Kbuild environment variable.
  * Added support for R8, GR88 and YCbCr GBM formats.
  * Optimized the X driver headless framerate limiter to more closely mimic
    upstream behavior and prevent it from activating in inconvenient
    situations. Added a new X config option "LimitFrameRateWhenHeadless" to
    disable the headless framerate limiter.
  * Fixed a bug that prevented Gamescope from running when using the NVIDIA
    Open GPU Kernel modules.
  * Fixed a bug that prevented the installer package from being unpacked
    on systems where zstd is not installed, when /tmp is mounted noexec.
  * Use transparent huge pages for OpenGL/Vulkan when available for the .text
    section. This is done through madvise() calls, and requires a Linux kernel
    configured with CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS.
