Phoronix: NVIDIA 1.0-9XXX / 2.0-XXXX Details

[ Thanks to Michael Larabel for this link. ]

"Since last month's general availability of Microsoft Windows Vista, NVIDIA has introduced the Forceware 100.XX series. The quality of this driver has been very debatable (some even calling for a class action law suit), but it has added DirectX 10.0 support for Vista Longhorn users. However, the Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris drivers remain in the 1.0-9XXX series. While we have yet to see any major NVIDIA Linux developments in 2007, we have decided to take one final look at this most recent driver series. In this article, we are retesting the 1.0-9626, 1.0-9629, 1.0-9631, and 1.0-9746 Linux display drivers. We have also added the NVIDIA 1.0-9751 display driver to the mix; if you've never seen the driver we will tell you in this article where you can get it. We are also shedding the first light on what will likely become the NVIDIA 2.0-XXXX display driver for Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD..."
