Changes: envy (0.9.2-0ubuntu6) unstable; urgency=low . * Changed: the ATI legacy is not compatible with Xorg 7.2 therefore Envy will throw an error if a user tries to install this driver on a distribution other than Edgy * Added: ATI driver 8.36.5 * Removed: ATI driver 8.35.5 * Added: Mesa is restored after the Nvidia […]
You will have to remove the driver you installed with Envy before upgrading Ubuntu to a newer release otherwise you might not have success with the upgrade. See point “C” of the FAQ on my website for further details.
Today a colleague told me that Michael Vercoe, a good friend from Manchester, passed away last Christmas eve. All I can say is that he represents the best years of my life at the university. An amazing tutor and a wise friend. I would like to remember him with a song by a band he […]
There was a (stupid) typo which prevented Envy from packaging the ATI legacy driver properly. Let me know how it goes
I have worked hard yesterday night to squash a few bugs which caused problems both to the owners of Nvidia cards such as 8800 and the owners of ATI legacy cards. Here is the changelog: envy (0.9.2-0ubuntu3) unstable; urgency=low . * Fixed: Envy deb compilation scripts did not create a link to libnvidia-wfb.so.1.0.9755 thus causing […]
If you use an ATI legacy card you might want to upgrade to Envy 0.9.2-0ubuntu2 * Changed: ATI unofficial workaround for the legacy driver is no longer downloaded from phoronix (since they were removed) but from albertomilone.com
A user reported that Nvidia is using this image on its main page: OF COURSE it doesn’t have anything to do with the “Envy” I develop but I find it kind of funny.
I haven’t got neither the time nor the hardware to test Envy but seen the number of requests I’m receiving I have decided to release an unstable version of Envy so that you can help me test what will become a stable release. Here are all the changes as reported in the changelog: * Added: […]
I have received many emails and posts (both on the forum and on my blog) asking when I would add the support for Ubuntu Feisty to Envy. I was waiting for Ubuntu’s devs to upload the new restricted modules which now include 3 versions of the Nvidia driver (7184, 9631, 9755) and I got that […]
This is a bugfix release which should solve a bug which caused problems during the compilation of driver 9631. I *warmly* recommend to update to this release. An Italian user tested Envy for me since I haven’t got a new Nvidia card yet.
