New drivers, quite a few fixes
290.10 for Linux x86/x86_64 released
Release highlights since 290.06:
Fixed a bug that would cause OpenGL applications to crash when run with recent releases of glibc such as glibc 2.14.90.
Improved the performance of FBO bind operations when using Xinerama by ~30% in some cases.
Fixed a bug that could cause stereo corruption when driving a stereo display and a non-stereo display from the same GPU.
Fixed a bug that could cause display devices on a secondary GPU to get swapped between X screens when restarting the X server.
Fixed a bug that could result in line flickering in full-scene anti- aliasing contexts.
Fixed a bug that caused the physical dimensions of rotated monitors to be reported incorrectly.
Add support for the pre-VBO DrawArrays command in the server-side GLX driver module. The NVIDIA client-side GLX implementation never sends this command, but the server needs to support it for compatibility with other GLX client implementations.
Fixed a regression that caused blank/white windows when exhausting video memory on GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs while using composited desktops.
Fixed a bug that caused a crash when glDrawArrays was used with a non-VBO vertex attribute array to draw on a Xinerama screen other than screen 0 using an indirect GLX context.
The 290.10 NVIDIA Accelerated Linux Graphics Driver Set for Linux/x86 is available for download via FTP. ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/290.10/
