Today, I’ve uploaded the latest release of the NVIDIA driver (173.14.05<\/strong>) to the the hardy-proposed repository (you should thank the Ubuntu-SRU<\/strong> and the MOTU-SRU<\/strong> teams for this). This is the bugreport containing the request for a SRU<\/a> (Stable Release Update). Please test the new driver and post your comments there<\/a> so that we know whether the driver works well for you too, and if it does, the update will be moved to the stable repository.<\/p>\n

NOTE: this update won’t affect Ubuntu’s official linux-restricted-modules but only the linux-restricted-modules-envy so that nothing will break if you use the former.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/strong><\/em>
\nAll you have to do in order to test the new driver is enable the hardy-proposed repositories, refresh your list of packages and:
\n1) if<\/strong> you have already installed the driver through EnvyNG you should receive an update through Update manager<\/del>
\n2) otherwise<\/strong> you will have to install and launch EnvyNG and select the “Manual selection of the driver” (since I haven’t had the time to update EnvyNG’s compatibility list for the automatic detection).<\/p>\n

News:<\/strong><\/em>
\nI promised that I would blog about the projects I was assigned at the UDS and here’s the first news: I’ll maintain the NVIDIA driver for Ubuntu Intrepid together with Timo Aaltonen while Mario Limonciello will take care of the ATI (fglrx) driver. We’ll use DKMS for both drivers.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more news and please help us testing the driver.<\/p>\n

P.S. I’m working on the latest ATI driver too<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
