Suggest you update your nvidia driver to 381.22, or try the new beta 384.47 (or patch your 375.66 driver). Latest versions and patches can be found via the nvidia Linux forum - start here:
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/533434/linux/current-graphics-drive...
BTW, it is also worth installing and setting up dkms - except when new kernel versions break the nvidia drivers, it makes kernel upgrades much easier by automatically building the nvidia modules for the new kernel (or, for an older kernel if you boot to one that has not had the driver module previously built).
Regards, Thank you, Rodney, for this info. But I have a question re the above and what I normally see when I go to NVidia to download the latest driver for my GPU.
The nVidia web page
https://www.geforce.com/drivers
does not show the driver 381.22 when I do a search for the driver for my card but shows 375.66 as the latest driver for my GTX 660 card. Is this because that page has yet to be updated to show 381.22 or is it because this driver is not suitable for my GPU? Would appreciate your comment as I would rather, for personal reasons, not go wading thru the nVidia Forum to find an answer.
