    Ciao

    Occhio a questi driver perché a quanto pare danno parecchi problemi su alcune schede video (a me funzionano benissimo)
    http://lists.mandriva.com/cooker/2009-03/msg01655.php

    Sono stati rimossi dalla 2009.1 in favore della versione 180.29 che dicono sia molto più stabile.

    Ciao Ciao, Moreno

    Grazie, per l’informazione,
    (anche a me funzionano benissimo)

    Ma sono andato a guardare adesso,
    e, in effetti, leggendo questo:

    180.41 breaks all cards that use a PCI-E - AGP bridge, such as the
    7600GT, 6600, etc.

    Abbiamo cosi’ deciso di non metterli stavolta, ma upparli nella cartella /testing per chi li volesse testare volontariamente.
    Non saranno dunque nella cartella dei drivers predefinita, ovvero la /non-free:
    In quella andrebbero in aggiornamento per tutti potendo cosi’ causare dei possibili disservizi

    • I drivers Nvidia 180.41, validi per le schede moderne a partire dalla serie 6xxx, saranno invece posti in /$distro/$arch/testing/nvidia-180.41
    • I drivers Nvidia 173.xx, per le Nvidia serie 5xxx, andranno in /non-free tra gli aggiornamenti, in quanto non sono stati riscontrati problemi su quelli.
