Kernel Log: progress with free graphics drivers, three new stable kernels
,----[ Quote ]
| A new version of the nv driver supports later NVIDIA GPUs. Drivers giving 3D
| support for later Radeon GPUs are making progress, and so is code for running
| the X server without root rights. The kernel developers have now issued new
| stable kernel versions and no longer support the 2.6.29 series.
|
| Not much has been heard in recent months about the open-source graphics
| driver for NVIDIA GPUs, properly known as "xf86-video-nv" but usually
| shortened to just "nv". Recently, however, NVIDIA man Aaron Plattner released
| version 2.1.14. Although innovations are few, some of the changes mean that
| the driver now handles a great many later graphic chips that were previously
| only supported by the Nouveau driver or the proprietary NVIDIA driver. These
| include various GeForce 7950 cards, the GeForce models 285 and 295, and many
| other graphics cards in the 9000 series.

NVIDIA Issues An Open-Source Driver Update
,----[ Quote ]
| NVIDIA's Aaron Plattner has just announced the release of the xf86-video-nv
| 2.1.14 driver, but does it have anything in store? Not really. The NVIDIA
| open-source X.Org driver update brings support for a couple of new ASICs,
| fixed mode-setting for some NVIDIA GPUs, and other fixes, but nothing too
| exciting... At least compared to the ATI X.Org module and other drivers that
| have picked up kernel mode-setting support and other exciting features.
