Linux Display Driver - IA32
Version: 1.0-8756
Operating System: Linux IA32
Release Date: April 7, 2006
Release Highlights
* Adds support for GeForce 7300, GeForce 7400 Go, GeForce 7600 and GeForce 7900 GPUs.
* Added support for running OpenGL applications while the Composite X extension is enabled; see "The X Composite Extension" appendix for details.
* Enabled hardware acceleration of the Render X extension by default.
* Added "AddARGBGLXVisuals" X configuration option, so that OpenGL applications can render to X Windows' alpha channel.
* Added Linux/i2c support to the NVIDIA kernel module; see the "i2c Bus Support" appendix for details.
* Improved power management support with Linux >= 2.6.14 and added support for suspend-to-disk.
* Added new "nvidia-auto-select" mode entry for use in the X configuration file; see description in the "Programming Modes" appendix.
* Added support for GLX 1.4.
* Added ability for OpenGL applications to span greater than 4096 pixels when in Xinerama.
* Improved G-Sync support.
* Fixed interlaced modes on CRTs.
* Improved compatibility with the latest Linux 2.6 kernels.
What's interesting for me is the line "Improved power management support with Linux >= 2.6.14 and added support for suspend-to-disk."
Will I be able to suspend my laptop once for all?!?

Its not bad at all. I can finnaly play games with composit enabled.
There are some quarks, however. Like if you have a large display like 1920x1200, and play a game that is limited to 1600x1200 max (Like Doom3 or Quake4), the game will display not in full screen anymore, but will black out the rest of the screen and the game will appear in the lower left.
According to the Nvidia site, this should be able to be fixed with the nvidia-settings, but its not.
Also, some games lag really bad for the first couple of seconds at the beginning of a round, like UT2004, but appear to play good after that.
Quake3 fps droped out quite abit for me. I was getting 73 fps, and now I get 53.
Not a bad release as it fixes alot of stuff, but introduces some other bugs.
This is a great step in the right direction, just needs to mature a bit...
If you are a heavy gamer, stick with the previous versions untill the bugs are fixed...

all those efforts for nothing...
You haven't finished to mirror the unofficial file that nvidia release the new "official beta"... they are as fast as ever. Reminds me of the time the Geforce1 came out, with new drivers once or twice a week :D (unofficial of course)
So, enjoy the new driver!

For this new bashing about nvidia i personally have another view of this. But first i must say again that i use the nvidia drivers only on 2 pc (7500 and 4600) under arch linux and not on a laptop.
The story from my view is that the kde4 developers make a intensive use of a functionality which has never been used before in this way under linux and which was no problem for the original xorg drivers. I don't know what you works but if i would be the supervisor of the linux developers from nvidia than i would say that they have to test the driver even for the newest kernel and the newest xorg version but don't take a look for every beta or preview version of other applications which includes kde or gnome too. Employees don't works for nothing and so you have even to decide what you will do with your non-endless manpower. And if you look in the forum (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14) you will see that nvidia have recognized the problem, works on it and have a new beta driver with a better support for this problem. What can a company do more?
So i'm a little bit surprised that people have impatience for at example that the kdepim suite 4.1 don't use the new akonadi framework but have no impatience to wait for a new stable nvidia driver under kde4. And still again, we speaks about the first "ready to use" version of kde4 which was released since a couple of days and not years. But this be only my 2c.
oh so you mean to say release a powerful product, i mean tout it as powerful with all the features and then dont release good enough drivers for it for months, maybe you are happy with that equation.
The expectation is to get what you paid for I am not a open source zealot, for all I care Nvidia can keep their source closed, but I am unwilling to wait for months to get the FULL functionality from my card when it is worth half its price. What is so crazy about asking for accountability from a corporations...is it so hard to fathom?
Oh yes I will keep pointing it out till I wish or till my card becomes OLD and when I have to buy a new one I will take this into account. As some would say oh Nvidia doesnt have to care about all this bitching they don't have to care about linux etc etc. I am speaking for myself I may be insignificant for nVidia but I am not happy.

NVIDIA Releases Fix For Dangerous Display Driver Exploit

Graphics card maker NVIDIA on Saturday quietly released a driver update (version 310.90) that fixes a recently-uncovered security vulnerability in the NVIDIA Display Driver service (nvvsvc.exe).
The vulnerability, disclosed on Christmas day by Peter Winter-Smith, a researcher from the U.K., allows an attacker to gain super-user access to any system running the vulnerable driver software.

Latest Release 265 Series Nvidia Drivers for Lenovo T61p?

I ran 3DMark06 this evening on my T9300 T61p and got my usual 4460 Benchmark Score .... however, the benchmark's results page today lists a newer Nvidia Quadro FX notebook series driver available for my WinXP 32-bit system directly from Nvidia.
At the Nvidia site it looks like it's Nvidia's Verde Notebook Release 265 Series v266.58 WQHL Certified display driver, released in January 2011, which claims support for notebooks using Quardro FX 570M graphics.
The Nvidia download site is found here:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx
I selected from the Nvidia Menu:
Quadro , then
Quadro FX Series (notebooks) , then
Quardro FX 570M , then
Quardro Graphics Driver , (from a choice of 5 different drivers for different scenarios), then
Windows XP , then
English , then
Search
Anyone tried this driver setup yet?
Two (I used to have Five) - T61p 15.4" WS T9300 2.5Ghz units, August 08/08 Builds with FX570M Nvidia Graphics; ... One W520 i7-2860QM w/2000M Nvidia Graphics (most recent acquisition and stupidly fast); .... One - T42 4:3 15" Flexview 1.8GHz with ATI Graphics (still perfect for traveling); ... Two - T500 15.4" units both with ATI HD3650 Graphics.

My advice is proceed with caution. Latest drivers aren't always the best option. I'd also read the release notes and see what was done to them. Driver updates are often issued for non-issues and won't make any difference. Here is an example of a ficticous update reason.
Bugfix: driver cause BSOD crash on dell XPS model XXX to YYY when entering hibernation
Such an update would never be picked up by Lenovo because it won't matter to any lenovo computer, and if you constantly update to the latest drivers, you're not avoiding problems, your making yourself little more then a beta tester running new code that could turn out to be unstable.
My motto is... if it's not broke, don't fix it!!!

if you used the packages from repos, the blacklist is done automatically in nvidia,
$ pacman -Qo /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau_blacklist.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/nouveau_blacklist.conf is owned by nvidia 195.36.31-1
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau_blacklist.conf
blacklist nouveau
but i guess you just want to mess your system by using unsupported and very bad ways and you are way smarter than the devs if you used that installer

Problems with Premiere Elements 8 after updating to Nvidia driver 195.81 or later?

Hello PRE8 users,
If you have an Nvidia-based graphics chipset, and you've updated to Nvidia driver version 195.81 or later and you're still experiencing frequent crashes and freezes in Premiere Elements 8, then we'd like to hear from you in this thread. As mentioned in the announcement at the top of this forum, we believe most of these issues are caused by a problem with an Nvidia driver that was released after PRE8 was developed, and that the issues should be resolved by updating to Nvidia driver version 195.81 or later. Notes from the announcement I mentioned above are copied below for your reference.
Best regards,
Chad
For Nvidia users, there is a driver update that will fix both of the following issues:
Premiere Elements 8 does not restart after closing on Windows
Frequent and inexplicable crashes with Premiere Elements 8
To resolve these issues, you should update your GPU (graphics card) driver to version 195.81 or higher, by following the steps below.
1.      Identify which GPU driver you have by right clicking on the Desktop > Properties > Settings and in the Display field it will be displayed.
2.      Go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and download driver for your GPU card. Its size varies from 80 to 120MB depending upon the GPU card model.
3.      After the download is complete, run the driver install Installation. This should take less than 2 minutes.
There are no known issues that the latest driver update will cause.
This is an announcement. There is a separate discussion topic located here.
***If the update steps shown above do not upgrade your system to version 195.81 or higher, then you may need to download the driver directly. Use the link below only if the steps above do not update your driver to 195.81 or higher. The download page for Vista and Windows 7 is located here:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7_winvista_32bit_195.81_beta.html

Up here I copied and posted my PC's spec's. Since upgrading to the new driver, my problems increased. I seem to experience more crashes than before. Happens randomly and I can not see a pattern.   (I have noticed dragging clips from one area to another on the time line is no-no)

Flash video image problem with newest nVidia driver

I've got a very weird display error since the last update. Basically, whenever I play flash video and afterwards close the browser (chromium), any purely black surfaces will display the full flash player image. The effect is only visible in the "first" window of a xmonad tab, that means if I cycle the window positions it will be in a different window. The others are not affected. When I restart X, I can see the flash video image flashing up shortly on the black screen. Restarting X fixes the issue. I cannot take any screenshot of the problem because the error is NOT visible on the screenshot. Therefore I suspect that some frame buffer used for the flash player is not getting cleared properly after exiting the browser, but it's really little more than a wild guess.
As there are multiple components involved, I'm at a loss of where this might be coming from. I hope someone might be able to shed some light on this situation. Please post here if you have the same problem or have any idea why this happens!
My setup:
-nvidia 260.19.36-2
-flashplugin 10.2.152.27-1
-chromium 9.0.597.94-1
-xmonad 0.9.2-1
-xmonad-contrib 0.9.2-1

I don't get the black bug when using XGL and I have a ~2yr old card (6400 turbocache) on my notebook.

Nvidia Display Driver stopped responding and has recovered, kernel mode 186.60

I have tried just about everything, including first downloading new drivers, HP put in a new display card and has had it back to the factory two other times.
It still happens and produces a black screen anywhere from 8 to 15 seconds. It happens in all programs, showing no one activity over another.
I think it has to do with the TouchSmart technology, because it's a large "laptop" in technology. It finally happened during the night when HP Advisor was monitoring and they asked for feedback. MAYBE they will discover the problem. It's particularly hard when I had to ship it back to HP (at their expense) and do without it, then have to reinstall things all over again!
I wish someone had the answer!

Sorry it took me a while to get back to my TouchSmart. Here are the details on the "Optional" Windows update that seems to resolve this issue. Hope this helps -PH
