[arch-dev-public] New NVIDIA package 100.14.19 uploaded to testing
I just added nvidia and nvidia-utils 100.14.19 to testing. As I don't have all those kernels installed, I didn't take care of nvidia-ck, nvidia-suspend2 and nvidia-mm, could the respective maintainers please do that? This release has some awesome improvements: - Improved GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap out-of-memory handling. - Improved compatibility with recent X.Org X servers. - Fixed a problem causing X to render incorrectly after VT switches with composited desktops. - Improved compatibility with recent Linux 2.6 kernels. The first and third will improve beryl and compiz usage with nvidia drivers considerably, the second will hopefully allow us to run xorg-server 1.4 with nvidia.

Perhaps we should ask Alexander to put 1.4 in testing, too. It runs fine with 1.3 so far (Arch64, G70). Pierre -- archlinux.de

Yes, nvidia works for me. I have no feedback on how the legacy drivers or fglrx works or break with 1.4. Please tell me in and I'll push them to testing if all goes well. Remember -ignoreABI is a showstopper and I'll force a downgrade to 7.2 rather than to push xorg-server 1.3.0.0 to extra. Cheers, -L
