New NVIDIA Linux Driver Due Soon
Posted by Michael Larabel on October 18, 2007
It was exactly a month ago that NVIDIA had released the 100.14.19 binary display driver for Linux and Solaris. While this release had corrected the GeForce 8 performance problems, this release wasn't entire positive as some bugs were left unfixed and some new issues had appeared. However, if NVIDIA sticks to their release cycle, we should have a new NVIDIA Linux display driver out very soon. This week is almost over, but next week is a likely target for NVIDIA's next Linux display driver release. NVIDIA has yet to cooperate and tell us anymore details, but once learning any we will pass them along. Meanwhile, AMD's October Linux driver -- the much anticipated fglrx 8.42.x -- should be out within a couple of days.
