Description Evgenii Shatokhin 2016-04-14 18:33:16 MSK

The long-lived branch 361.x of the NVidia graphics drivers supercedes 352.x and 346.x.

More info about the branches supported by NVidia:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html

The users who have nvidia352 or nvidia346 installed will still have their drivers working but XFdrake will suggest nvidia361 for such GPUs from now on (the update of ldetect-lst takes care of that).

The updated driver uses a new API (GLVND, https://github.com/NVIDIA/libglvnd) internally, so it should be carefully tested for regressions w.r.t. nvidia352.

Comment 1 Evgenii Shatokhin 2016-04-14 18:39:01 MSK

Advisory:
A new long-lived branch of NVidia graphics drivers is provided: 361.x, version 361.42. ldetect-lst was updated accordingly for XFdrake to suggest that driver when appropriate.
nvidia361 adds support for several GeForce GPUs (GeForce 945M, GeForce 940MX, GeForce 945A, GeForce 920MX, GeForce 930MX), a number of Quadro GPUs as well as NVS 810, Tesla M40, Tesla M4. It also uses new OpenGL API internally (https://github.com/NVIDIA/libglvnd) and fixes many regressions.
