NVIDIA Legacy 1.0-7185 Driver

Posted by Michael Larabel on April 19, 2007

Hitting the web moments ago was a new NVIDIA Linux display driver. However, this happens to be the legacy driver and not the mainstream driver that everyone has been on the look out for. This new legacy driver at version 1.0-7185 supports interaction with newer Linux kernels, improved compatibility with newer versions of X.Org, and new NVIDIA artwork. The new NVIDIA mainstream Linux/FreeBSD/Solaris driver should be available through nZone shortly (perhaps tomorrow). For more information on the 1.0-7185 driver see the 32-bit and 64-bit pages.
