Enkele dagen geleden heeft nVidia een nieuwe set display drivers met 169.04 beta als het versienummer voor Linux x86, Linux x64, FreeBSD x86 en Solaris x64/x86 uitgebracht. Nieuw in ForceWare 169.04 beta is de ondersteuning voor de GeForce 8800 GT en de ontwikkelaars hebben verschillende bugs geplet om de stabiliteit te verbeteren. De lijsten met veranderingen zien er als volgt uit:

- Added support for GeForce 8800 GT.
- Improved modesetting support on Quadro/GeForce 8 series GPUs.
- Fixed stability problems with some GeForce 8 series GPUs.
- Fixed stability problems with some GeForce 6200/7200/7300 GPUs multi-core/SMP systems.
- Improved hotkey switching support for some Lenovo notebooks.
- Fixed a problem with Compiz after VT-switching.
- Improved RENDER performance.
- Improved interaction with Barco and Chi Mei 56" DFPs, as well as with some Gateway 19" DFPs.
- Added an interface to monitor PowerMizer state information.
