Nvidia heeft nieuwe Linux Display Drivers voor x86- en AMD64/EM64T-systemen beschikbaar gesteld. De nieuwe stuurprogramma's hebben versienummer 180.29 meegekregen en zijn van de nodige verbeteringen voorzien. Zo ondersteunen de Linux Display Drivers voortaan ook de GeForce 9300 GE- en Quadro NVS 420-videokaarten en is het mogelijk om op GeForce 8-videokaarten en nieuwer OpenGL 3.0 te draaien. De release highlights van versie 180.29 staan hieronder gepost:
Release Highlights
- Added support for the following GPUs:
- GeForce 9300 GE
- Quadro NVS 420
- Added support for OpenGL 3.0 for GeForce 8 series and newer GPUs.
- Fixed a bug that caused VDPAU to display a green screen when using the overlay-based presentation queue with interlaced modes.
- Fixed a bug that prevented VDPAU from working correctly after X server restarts on some GPUs.
- Improved VDPAU's handling of mode switches; eliminated a crash in its mode switch recovery code and a hang in the blit-based presentation queue.
- Fixed a bug that caused VDPAU to crash when using DisplayPort devices.
- Fixed a potential hang in VDPAU when using the blit-based presentation queue on systems with multiple GPUs not in SLI mode.
- Implemented missing error checking of layer data in VDPAU's VdpVideoMixerRender function.
- Improved VDPAU's handling of setups with multiple GPUs, if a subset of the GPUs cannot be supported due to resource limitations.
- Improved GPU video memory management coordination between the NVIDIA X driver and VDPAU.
- Fix potential hang in VDPAU when the overlay is already in use.
- Improved workstation OpenGL performance.
- Fixed an X driver acceleration bug that resulted in Xid errors on GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs.
- Updated the X driver to consider GPUs it does not recognize supported, allowing it to drive some GPUs it previously ignored.
- Added the ability to run distribution provided pre- and post-installation hooks to 'nvidia-installer'; please see the 'nvidia-installer' manual page for details.
- Updated the X driver's metamode parser to allow mode names with periods (i.e. '.'s).
- Fixed a problem in VDPAU that prevented the overlay-based presentation queue from being used on displays connected by component video.
- Fixed various problems in VDPAU that caused visual corruption when decoding certain MPEG-2 video streams.
- Fixed a crash in VDPAU caused by certain invalid MPEG-2 streams, in 64-bit drivers for some GPUs.
- Fixed an X driver performance problem on integrated GPUs.
- Fixed a stability problem with OpenGL applications using FSAA.
- Fixed an initialization problem that caused some AGP GPUs to be used in PCI compatibility mode.
- Fixed a bug that could result in stability problems after changing clock settings via the Coolbits interface.
- Fixed a problem with hotkey switching on some recent mobile GPUs.
- Worked around a power management regression in and improved compatibility with recent Linux 2.6 kernels.
