Phoronix: New NVIDIA Linux Driver Due Soon

It was exactly a month ago that NVIDIA had released the 100.14.19 binary display driver for Linux and Solaris. While this release had corrected the GeForce 8 performance problems, this release wasn't entire positive as some bugs were left unfixed and some new issues had appeared.

Well it can't come too soon. I've been pretty lucky over the years with relatively minor problems with NVidia's drivers. However the XVideo corruption bug definitely ranks as the most problematic of all time since when I'm trying to relax and enjoy a movie or TV show, the last thing I want is to have to restart/reset my X11 environment.
