The biggest of the bugs still here!

Indeed the closed hardware programming manual bug is still here... sad, and AMD/Intel/Via have fixed that bug. nvidia is quite late.

Don't get me wrong, but I wish Nvidia would pay a little more attention the windows driver. It's a pain in the rear to find a working driver for mobile Nvidia gpus on windows, but I have never had a problem on linux.

Thats not true, it does support xorg ABI 5 (i.e xserver 1.6) it was just missed in the changelog.

I expected something like that, it would be quite strange if all of the legacy drivers would support xserver 1.6, but the driver for "new" cards wouldn't.

What the NVIDIA 180.25 Linux driver lacks, however, is official support for X Server 1.6.
