dexter11 Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 NVIDIA has released a new driver and the first from the 1.0-9XXX series: 1.0-9626. There's almost no change to the 1.0-9625 beta driver. This is the first non-beta nvidia driver which contains the "GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap" extension, which is needed for AIGLX to work with nvidia cards. Can be downloaded from here. source: hup.hu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artificial Intelligence Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Where on the version tree does this fit? I mean we have 8XXX for the latest nvidia driver 7XXX for legacy driver and 5XXX for IA64 and it seems that there aren't any links from the official download site http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html is 9xxx still beta? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 9xxx will be the next line of drivers. This driver, however, is specifically for Quadro Plex setups and not for use on other systems. It seems there was some misunderstanding somewhere along the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artificial Intelligence Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 ehhhmm..I just found out that the 9xxx is also for other cards. I just install edgy beta and grab the 9xxx driver installed it. It works very well to get beryl to work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 9XXX is in beta for the other cards, the one linked to above is a stable release. Like I said: 9xxx will be the next line of drivers. This driver, however, is specifically for Quadro Plex setups and not for use on other systems.By "this driver" I most obviously meant "the one linked to in the original post, which is a stable release, and not a beta." I'm running 9625 on my system so that I can use beryl w/o XGL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
