NVIDIA 1.0-7182 Legacy

Written by Michael Larabel in NVIDIA on 26 June 2006 at 01:00 AM EDT. Add A Comment

NVIDIA has provided their first Linux legacy driver release. This driver is designed solely for older cards where support has been dropped from their official latest Linux display drivers. New in this release is installation problems on newer distributions, compatibility with the latest 2.6 kernels, improved 64-bit 2.6 stability, improved power management on newer kernels, and install NVIDIA OpenGL headers by default. More on this legacy release is at NVIDIA.
