NVIDIA Releases New Linux Drivers

mlmitton writes "NVIDIA just released new Linux drivers (1.0-5328). But the early reports by users are less than encouraging. People are weighing in with mostly bad news about how well these new drivers work. Some people are finding that Neverwinter Nights doesn't work and they're reverting to the old drivers (4496). I spent a few long hours recently trying to get the old drivers to work with Fedora Core 1 so I'm going to hold off on these new ones."

    Forceware display drivers are all well and good, but how about releasing the source for the nForce2 motherboard drivers? Having them be closed source is still making it a pain in the arse to install correctly. I still cannot get my integrated networking to work under Debian. Why not just make it easy on us and not distribute only the binaries?

    Kernel: Linux2.6
    Processor: 4-way iTanium
    Distribution: gentoo
    Video Card: None
    Experience: Downloaded the driver. Realized I don't have a video card on the computer since I use it in a production environment to do DNS. Spent half an hour trying to pull ungreased yoda doll out of my ass (don't ask).

    I almost bit on this, but when you posted the bit about Counter-Strike running under Linux ( it only runs in Windows), I knew you were trolling.
