NVIDIA 1.0-9631 Display Driver Released

[Michael]

Coming out of the NVIDIA camp this afternoon is a new display driver. The release highlights for version 1.0-9631 include fixing an OpenGL crash on some GeForce 3 and GeForce 4 GPUs, fixing an X server crash on some full screen OpenGL applications, and improved interaction with newer kernels. The Solaris and FreeBSD NVIDIA drivers have also been updated to 1.0-9631 (with the same changes except for the kernel alterations). The latest NVIDIA Linux/Solaris/FreeBSD drivers can be downloaded here (http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html).

* Fixed an OpenGL crash on some GeForce 3 and GeForce 4 GPUs.
* Fixed an X server crash starting some fullscreen OpenGL games.
