NVIDIA Releases Four New Linux Drivers
,----[ Quote ]
| The NVIDIA 180.22 Linux driver was released less than three weeks ago, but
| today NVIDIA has released a new 180.xx display driver update. In addition,
| NVIDIA has updated all three of their legacy display drivers.

Nouveau Companion 42
,----[ Quote ]
| The 42nd edition of the Nouveau Companion is now available to provide an
| update on the status of this community project to provide an open-source
| 2D/3D driver for all of NVIDIA's graphics hardware. Covered in this developer
| update is the status of the Nouveau driver on newer NVIDIA hardware, work
| underway on NV20 Gallium3D code, the LLVM back-end for Gallium3D progressing,
| the work that's left on kernel mode-setting support, and the GEM / TTM memory
| management work. The lack of a stabilized memory manager for the Nouveau
| kernel mode-setting driver is what's postponing a stable 2D driver release.

Nouveau Companion 41
,----[ Quote ]
| Just in time for the holidays is a new Nouveau Companion newsletter to update
| the community on the status of this open-source 2D/3D NVIDIA driver that is
| written by clean room reverse-engineering of NVIDIA's binary driver. It has
| been a while since Nouveau Companion 40, but there is still active work going
| into this X.Org driver. Among the topics covered in the 41st edition of the
| Nouveau Companion is kernel mode-setting, Gallium3D, layering GEM on top of
| TTM (similar to the GEM-ified TTM Radeon driver), and thermal monitoring code
| for the Nouveau driver.
|
| Well, I bet most of you did not expect me to show up shortly before the end
| of the year with yet another TiNDC. There has been some turmoil regarding my
| job. At first it was too much work followed by a somewhat unexpected folding
| of the company. So I had to find a new job, which is why I never turned up
| for quite some time.

Ubuntu 9.04 To Get Nouveau Driver
,----[ Quote ]
| The Nouveau driver has been in development for several years now but with
| limited developers that are reverse-engineering NVIDIA's GPUs and there being
| no public documentation or support from NVIDIA, it has taken quite a while to
| come up with a reputable open-source driver that supports all of NVIDIA's
| hardware. Nouveau still doesn't have a stable released version of its 2D DDX
| or Mesa 3D driver, but development snapshots of it have appeared in Fedora
| and a few other distributions. With the release of Ubuntu 9.04 next April, a
| packaged version of Nouveau will finally appear in Ubuntu's repositories.

Nouveau Companion 37
,----[ Quote ]
| In the thirty-seventh edition of the Nouveau Companion, the topics covered
| largely come down to Gallium3D, the status of the Nouveau driver for each of
| the NVIDIA product families (primarily the GeForce 8 series), and of interest
| is that RandR 1.2 should soon be enabled by default for this
| reverse-engineered open-source 2D/3D NVIDIA driver.

Nouveau: glxgears on NV4x
,----[ Quote ]
| The exciting announcement, however, is word that the 3D driver is
| functioning with NV4x hardware and glxgears is now running. However,
| glxgears still has issues with pre-NV4x hardware. With glxgears now
| reported to function on NV4x hardware with Nouveau, we could not
| help but to try this. We had built everything from git on January
| 28, 2006, and yes, glxgears was running! The GPU was a NVIDIA
| GeForce 6150 and the Linux distribution used was Fedora Core 6.
