NVIDIA 180.08 Beta Driver Adds In OpenGL 3.0

[Kano]

It is a beta. But usally that does not hurt.

It's a proper beta. I had my screen sometimes flicker and then just freeze completely. Hard reboot was the only way to go (excluding the magic keys, which I forgot and don't seem to help me anyway).

Do you have magic keys enabled? Also do you have a way of steadily reproducing your hard lock?

[Vadi]

Nope and nope (latter making it particularly dangerous. I didn't have this happen since I moved to linux)

I suppose you refer there to SysRq, and it would indeed help if these locks were reproducible in some way...

Yup that's what I was referring too.

Which card is it you have again Vadi?
Edit: never mind GeForce 8600M GT/PCI/SSE2

I'm currently running 180.08 and all seems to be OK thus far. Some minor annoyances include stutter in some games (which I associate to the same symptom as Unreal Tournament 2004 in that it expects AGP to enable vertex extensions)

Why don't you update to 180.11?
