NVIDIA 195.36.24 Linux Driver Released
Posted by Michael Larabel on April 26, 2010
While NVIDIA's official 195.36.18 driver has been around for about one month, the Santa Clara engineers are getting ready to pump out a new official update. In fact, before the week ended, NVIDIA put out the 195.36.24 pre-release, which may be marked as their official stable release this week.
The NVIDIA 195.36.24 release brings forward official GeForce GTX 470/480 (a.k.a. Fermi) hardware support plus Tesla C2050 compatibility. This release also carries official X.Org Server 1.8 support, even though there has been unofficial support for this newest X Server release for a fair while when passing the X.Org Server the -ignoreABI argument to ignore the ABI differences.
Fixed in this release is also a problem that caused occasional red flashes during X-Video playback.
The x86/x86_64 download links for the NVIDIA 195.36.24 Linux driver can be found at NvNews.net.
