NVIDIA 256 Beta Linux Driver Released
,----[ Quote ]
| NVIDIA has rolled out its first beta in
| the expected 256.xx driver series for
| Linux, Windows, and other supported
| platforms. Last month we asked what you
| wanted from the NVIDIA 256.xx driver and
| while many of the respondents didn't get
| their greatest wishes answered, the 256.25
| beta driver does offer quite a bit of
| changes over the previous-generation
| proprietary NVIDIA driver.

How VIA Could Have Not Screwed Its Linux Chances
,----[ Quote ]
| Yesterday we reported on how VIA's open-
| source Linux dreams are not materializing
| and then this morning reported on a new
| secret driver being developed (xf86-video-
| openvia) between VIA Technologies, some
| VIA "friends", and the OpenChrome
| developers. However, as I said in this
| morning's VIA article, the situation is
| still a murky mess, this new OpenVIA
| driver isn't receiving much work, the DRM
| code with TTM/GEM memory management is
| still missing, and these open-source
| efforts by VIA are not very well
| organized.

Free NVIDIA Fermi Cards To Open-Source Developers
,----[ Quote ]
| Prior to launching their next-generation
| graphics processors, NVIDIA dropped their
| obfuscated open-source driver and have said
| they will not provide any open-source
| support at all for their GeForce GTX 400
| "Fermi" series as they just recommended
| their customers use the X.Org VESA driver
| until they can install the official binary
| Linux driver. However, the community
| developers working on the Nouveau driver
| project still plan to support the GeForce
| GTX 470/480 graphics cards via clean-room
| reverse engineering. Today their efforts
| might be helped thanks to a hardware
| sponsorship.
