nVidia ny betadrivare, 177.67

Den här drivaren var nice...

EDIT Buggfixrelease 177.68

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=118244

Release Date: August 19, 2008
Release Highlights
* Added support for the following new GPUs:
o GeForce GTX 260
o GeForce GTX 280
* Improved support for RENDER masks, as well as RENDER repeating modes and transformations, for video memory pixmaps.
* Added accelerated support for RENDER convolution filters for video memory pixmaps on GeForce 8, 9 and GTX GPUs.
* Added an 'AllowSHMPixmaps' X configuration option, which can be used to prevent applications from using shared memory pixmaps; the latter may cause some optimizations in the NVIDIA X driver to be disabled.
* Added support for DisplayPort display devices (including 30-bit devices).
* Resolved various stability problems on GeForce 8, 9 and GTX GPUs, as well as some GeForce 6 and 7 PCI-E GPUs.
* Fixed a bug that resulted in GPU errors when changing the TwinView display configuration while using Compiz.
* Further improved the error recovery paths taken in case of GPU command stream corruption.
* Removed an old workaround that caused incorrect fake Xinerama information to be reported after enabling a second TwinView display.
* Fixed the subpicture component order reported by the NVIDIA X driver's XvMC implementation.
* Fixed a problem that could result in IRQs being disabled on some multi-GPU SMP configurations.
* Worked around cache flushing problems (on some Linux kernels) that caused corruption and stability problems.
* Added experimental support for PCI-E MSI.
* Improved compatibility with recent Linux 2.6 kernels.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Drivaren måste patchas mot 2.6.26 samt 27 kärnor.

Observera tråd hos nVidia hur man installerar en drivare.....brukar annars "kickas" ut.

Buggfixar direkt.... 177.68

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=118244

* Added support for the GeForce 9700M GTS.
* Improved GPU video memory management coordination between the
NVIDIA X driver and OpenGL implementation; this should
improve performance with e.g. the KDE4 OpenGL compositing
manager.
* Fixed a RENDER corruption bug on GeForce 6 and 7 GPUs.
* Fixed a bug that caused GLXBadDrawable errors to be generated
when running more than one OpenGL application with
anti-aliasing enabled on GeForce 6 and 7 GPUs, e.g. wine.
* Fixed a bug that caused GPU errors when killing the X server
while an OpenGL application is running.
* Fixed a bug on GeForce 8, 9 and GTX GPUs that caused dynamic
display configuration to fail on GPUs not currently
driving an X screen.

@Scirocco, "fysikmodulen" ska komma med BigBang drivarna i September som jag uppfattat det, finns den för Windooze ???

Ver 177.70...

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=118602

* Added support for the following new GPUs:
o GeForce 9800 GTX+
o GeForce 9800 GT
o GeForce 8100P
o nForce 780a SLI
o nForce 750a SLI
o Quadro FX 770M
o Quadro NVS 160M
o Quadro NVS 150M
* Improved support for RENDER operations with the same source
and destination; this should enhance performance in
some situations, e.g. when dragging Plasma applets in KDE4.
* Fixed a text rendering performance regression that affected
GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs.
* Fixed a regression that caused text to be missing or
corrupt on GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs.
* Fixed a regression responsible for false negatives during
SLI video bridge detection attempts after X server
restarts.
* Fixed a bug that resulted in AGP FW/SBA settings and overrides
being applied incorrectly when using the Linux kernel's
AGP GART driver.
* Fixed a bug that caused initialization of the builtin AGP
GART driver (NvAGP) to fail.

RGBA fixat igen så att man slipper söndertrasade ikoner o text.
