In this article, we are retesting the 1.0-9626, 1.0-9629, 1.0-9631, and 1.0-9746 Linux display drivers. We have also added the NVIDIA 1.0-9751 display driver to the mix; if you've never seen the driver we will tell you in this article where you can get it. We are also shedding the first light on what will likely become the NVIDIA 2.0-XXXX display driver for Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD.

Does the 1.0-9751 driver solve the annoying problem with "black windows in compiz/beryl" for NV2x cards ?

never mind, ignore the above. The 1.0-9751 is not a legacy driver, thus doesn't support the NV2X cards...

Hi

Please, did anyone test if the 9751 drivers already solved the "black windows bug" in Beryl (using GL_TEXTURE_FROM_PIXMAP extension), regardless of the video card chip used (I have a Geforce 6800)?
