Nvidia Removed Linux Driver Feature For Feature Parity With Windows

Posted by timothy on from the leveling-the-playing-the-field dept.

RemyBR writes "Softpedia points to a Nvidia Developer Zone forum post revealing that the company has removed a specific Linux feature as of the v310 drivers due to the Windows platform. A BaseMosaic user on Ubuntu 12.04 noticed a change in the number of displays that can be used simultaneously after upgrading from the v295 drivers to v310. Another user, apparently working for Nvidia, gave a very troubling answer: 'For feature parity between Windows and Linux we set BaseMosaic to 3 screens.'"

    Nvidia still dosent get it.. Reminds me of now famous Torvalds quote from video where he send hes regards to Nvidia..

    What doesn't it get that the quote from Linus reminds you of? That Linux developers are unprofessional? I think it gets that very well.
