It was just yesterday that we at Phoronix told you to be on the lookout for a new NVIDIA Linux driver. Well, a new Linux driver is now available.

According to nvidia forums this is a beta driver

It doesn't appear to resolve the XVideo corruption bug either. Too bad. At least if it's still beta hopefully there is a chance the fix will still make it into the final release.

For me I see no differences to .19, but your mileage may vary.

damn, i was hoping it would.. It fucking sucks that they introduce such crappy bugs into their production drivers, going from 1.0.9756 to 100.14.19 is a major regression.

it really is annoying to have to switch out and into X to be able to watch video again.

changing the resoultion just do it, too , but yes, the bug sucks, sometimes i also get sys freezes because of xvideo

i tried to install this new driver on ubuntu 7.10 but ran into some hurdles but now when i try (sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.23-pkg1.run) the terminal responds : sh: Can't open NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.23-pkg1.run.

would anyone have any suggestions on how to fix?

thanks.
