Today is the day, after months of bringing fourth speculations,
and information regarding the 1.0-8168 BETA leak from ASUS, the
NVIDIA 1.0-8174 Linux display driver has finally surfaced to the
public. To start with, these new NVIDIA Linux 1.0-8174 drivers
feature a great deal of improvements from GeForce 6100/6150 support
to the new nvidia-xconfig utility. As expected, these driver
features are quite similar to what we had shared with our readers
over two months ago in our NVIDIA 1.0-8XXX series preview article
but unfortunately there are always a few features that didn’t make
their way into this release. Of course, the major feature is the
ability to now run Scalable Link Interface under Linux. This
article will focus primarily on the advantages of the 1.0-8174
drivers over that of the 1.0-7XXX series, and more specifically the
1.0-7676 release, but we do have numerous Linux SLI articles
planned in addition to our Linux SLI Primer and Tyan Tomcat K8E-SLI
review…”
