The new nvidia-drivers 361.16 fixes a segfault bug that occurred in all 358.xx releases. Release notes: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/97303/en-us Reproducible: Always
From the release highlights, The OpenGL Vendor-Neutral Driver (GLVND) infrastructure is now included and supported by the NVIDIA GLX and OpenGL drivers. This should not cause any visible changes in behavior for end users, but some internal driver component libraries have been renamed and/or moved as a result. These changes may affect scripts that rely on the presence of NVIDIA OpenGL driver components other than those specified in the Linux OpenGL ABI version 1.0, maintainers of alternative NVIDIA driver installation packages, and applications which rely on the presence of any non- OpenGL/GLX symbols in the libGL.so.1 library and its dependencies in any way. Please see: https://github.com/NVIDIA/libglvnd For more information on the GLVND project. The Linux OpenGL ABI version 1.0 specification is available at: https://www.opengl.org/registry/ABI source http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/97303 So its probably going to take a bit to get this one rolled out.
Seems this driver breaks several KDE/Plasma apps https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/908506/linux/several-essential-kde-applications-sddm-krunner-plasmashell-segfault-on-startup-with-361-16/

For non KDE5 users it's probably a more stable beta driver.

It also breaks GTK+3/GDK(?)/pixbuf, I couln't even run nvidia-settings, xfce4.12 seemed to run ok though. It may only take a system rebuild to get this working, I am not sure as I didn't quite try that yet.

There may be more libs with issues, I haven't tested all of them, and my ebuild may or may not be broken. I will put the diff here. gdk-pixbuf -> https://bpaste.net/show/e8d8cdaf8180 gtk+:3 -> https://bpaste.net/show/676fcc566fe8 pango -> https://bpaste.net/show/c3c3d4b5d669
Created attachment 422342 [details, diff] my nvidia-drivers 361.16 ebuild patch from 358.16-r1
Seems there is already a fix upstream with their glnvd https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/908506/linux/several-essential-kde-applications-sddm-krunner-plasmashell-segfault-on-startup-with-361-16/post/4776281/#4776281 and they will put the fix in the next 361.* driver release, I don't know what we will do in the meantime though.
Created attachment 422506 [details, diff] nvidia-drivers-361.16-ebuild-2.patch This is a working ebuild patch that replaces the previous patch, I believe I worked out all the kinks.

Will need to patch dev-qt/qtgui-5.5.1 and the ebuild for epatch_user

On a side note there are a couple of things here to take note on, http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/361.16/README/installedcomponents.html some tests need to be added for those particular versions of X and install the correct files. libwfb.so and nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf.

It's in the tree and it's a beta. I don't get what the Qt patches are doing here.
