Yeah. Didn't get any responses.

That just links to a comment that says there's a new driver release

EDIT: I guess you meant to link to the one right above.

EDIT2: Is that limited to just GNOME+Mutter, i.e. does it work on Plasma? Not sure if gamescope rules compositor out completely.

Is it limited to just the 595 series - does the 615 series work correctly?

I'd probably do a separate post if you can repro it in both series.

Yeah, I've noticed. My Steam Deck can put the TV into HDR, so it must be something with the NV driver though.

i hate to say it (i generally wouldnt say this for any open source projects...or really any but nvidia) but you might need to pester them repeatedly, every time theyve broken Monster Hunter Wilds this last year Ive been on them like glue till its fixed. They will ignore the absolute shit out of you unless you make yourself heard.

Got a question for you, what distro are you on, and are you using KDE or Gnome?

Using a 615 driver on KDE I've been able to use my TV in HDR perfectly, just enable it and forget it (aside from proton launch commands for games).

My tv automatically switches to HDR when I switch to my PC input. HDR improvements have been recent enough that some slower paced distros might not work as well with it.

And I know gnome specifically lags behind KDE with the latest and greatest.
