That's the one I have been using for a day and a half. I have experienced several X locks and one full lock needing a hard rebot. Quite unstable. Hmmm, at this end no problems (?so far).
Look at my thread "Slow 3D with NVidia", I posted logs there.
I saw that but only read it superficially. (See below.)
We are talking here about the final release of the new driver (1.0.8776) and not the beta version (1.0.9625) in which the security hole was first plugged?
Yes, the final. I just chanced to be looking for a driver at the time it was released.
Tell me, the beta 1.0.9625 then is more or less the same as the stable 1.0.8776 at this moment? Because I was thinking of trying it. I can live with the driver being slow in 3D for me, but I can't stand the machine locking on me, I prefer to keep using the open "nv" driver instead :-(
Even though I merely glanced over your original post, one thing which now comes to mind is that I believe you mentioned there that you are using an MX400 card and the results you got were for that card? Am I correct? If so then you had better read the blurb on the nVidia site about what is supported by the latest drivers. I am pretty sure that the MX 400 is not supported and that one has to go back to a much earlier driver for the MX 400 card. Some months ago someone had a question about the MX 400/(?)440 and I pointed this out to him at the time. (BTW, I am using a 6600 card and glxgears is showing ~3891 fps.)
