http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=linux NVIDIA just updated their drivers to Version: 1.0-1512 on 9/5/2001. Here are the fixes from the Release Notes: o Fixed problem where garbage appears on the screen and the LCD blooms when X is started on the Toshiba 3000 series laptops. o Changed behavior of the X server so that the NVIDIA splash screen only appears on the first run of X. The splash screen can also be disabled by setting an option in the XF86Config file; see ieOption ieNoLogolg iebooleanl.l. on page 28 for details. o Fixed problem where OpenGL applications would sometimes leave portions of their rendering behind when the window was closed using the ihxlg button on the window banner. o Fixed problem on mobile where X would respond to the wrong hot key event under certain conditions. o Fixed problem on SMP machines that occurred when VT switching while running gloss and gears with indirect rendering. o Fixed problem where /proc/nv/card0 did not report NV20 (Quadro DCC) correctly. o Fixed problem on TNT2 where the driver would only support up to four threads per process. o Fixed X Server crash that occurred when running two X Servers with AGPGART. o Fixed some problems in GLX that occurred when running multi-threaded applications. o Fixed problems with window borders picking up color values when moved across active OpenGL applications. o Fixed problems so that the X Server detects a Quadro DCC-based (NV20) card and properly initializes. o Fixed problem so that Redhat 7.1 SMP RPMS can correctly uninstall with the i.rpm -elp command while X Server is running. o Corrected default OpenGL state when indirect rendering. o Added xf86XVOffscreenImage support so the V4L module can use the hardware scaler on YUV surfaces. o Added support for hot key switching on mobile platforms, i.e., laptop computers. o Fixed a hang on mobile that occurred after starting, stopping, and then restarting X. o Fixed a problem on mobile platforms that prevented DVDs from displaying. o Fixed a problem that caused OpenGL programs to segfault when using a graphical login with xdm/kdm, and doing the following sequence: login, mode switch, logout, log in and run an OpenGL application. o Fixed some indirect rendering problems. o Fixed a problem that caused Xconfigure to fail on NVIDIA drivers. o Fixed a crash that occurred when X forwarding over SSH. o Fixed OpenGL front buffer clipping bug. o Improved X-Render acceleration. o Fixed a problem that prevented X-Render acceleration on GeForce3. o The NvAGP option now defaults toia3lt, which causes the driver to use AGP GART, if it is available, and NVidia AGP, otherwise. o Fixed issue with GeForce 256/DDR where Linux PCI adapter did not correctly initialize with AGP card installed. o Fixed typo in error format string which caused error messages to report ie%lr when it should have printed one of several error messages. If you are affected by these bugs, put it on your list to upgrade. Please note the as of this writing (8.5.2001), the SuSE 7.x RPMs were not available for download, although they were listed. The SRPMs are also _not_ downloadable but listed. My guess is that NVIDIA didn't syncronize their release of this. I feel confident that in the next few days both the SRPMs and SuSE 7.x RPMs will be available. -- noodlez: Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 0x3A1446A0
