I'm sure it doesn't matter at all, but aftering installing the latest driver, when x started it still said "nvidia beta". in Nvidia Settings it says the driver is 1.0-9626, so its running the latest driver.

Also, I couldn't find the latest drivers on the site without going to the direct link on the phoronix home page... wierd. When I click the linux/unix/etc link for the drivers it brings me here http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
and the latest drivers there are the 1.0-8774 drivers.

Ty for the link

These are for Quadro Plex only, you should probably add this to the article on the main page.

The GeForce ones can't be too far away though.

The 1.0-9626 drivers will function fine with the supported GeForce products.

Under SLED 10 the newest driver doesn't show the whole window under Gnome. Anyone know of a fix?

is that because of the use of X.org 6.9 in SLED, whereas the 9 series drivers are designed for X.org 7.1...............?

The 1.0-9XXX series should maintain compatibility with X.Org 6.x and 7.0.

Thats what I was thinking, but the drivers just are not working properly with SLED 10 and I'm not sure why that is. Maybe SuSE will release a package for the drivers that will work correctly, but until then I'm stuck with the old drivers.
