NVIDIA's Open-Source Driver Gets Updated
,----[ Quote ]
| The ill-maintained, feature-limited, and obfuscated driver known as
| xf86-video-nv driver has a new release out. This is the first open-source
| NVIDIA X.Org driver update in several months, but its change-log is rather
| limited. The xf86-video-nv 2.1.13 release was pushed out by Red Hat's Adam
| Jackson, and not even NVIDIA.
