Next week or in early February it looks like there will be a new official or Beta Linux display driver.... :eek: (Granted no further delays)

It looks like it might have an interesting change-log.

Good... good. You've got me curious with the italicized "might" now :-(

Could it be... The equivalent of Purevideo HD? As in, support for MPEG-4 and H.264 hardware decoding? *holds his breath*

Not yet. The NVIDIA Vista driver situation may be causing some repercussions.

So right now the latest is NVIDIA-Linux-<arch>-1.0-9755-pkg2 if I'm not mistaken. Will this next update be something like NVIDIA-Linux-<arch>-2.0-1000-pkg2, or will it be more like NVIDIA-Linux-<arch>-1.0-9756-pkg2? I like the 2.0 change better :D.
