NVIDIA Releases OSS Driver Update
Posted by Michael Larabel on August 27, 2008
While NVIDIA's NVISION 3D conference is taking place this week, we have yet to hear anything in regards to Linux announcements. However, NVIDIA has updated its open-source driver. Sadly though, their open-source driver is still the xf86-video-nv driver with its 2D limitations and obfuscated code. The xf86-video-nv 2.1.11 release has its hardware cursor initialization code rearranged, ROP bug-fixes for the G80 series, logging the i2c G80 port number, fix some warnings, a pixel clock setting fix, and adding in more and missing chip names. The release announcement for xf86-video-nv 2.1.11 can be read on the X.Org mailing list.
