Bug 235851 – x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-177.68 version bump

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Norman Jonas 2008-08-26 23:47:52 UTC]

This release provides important fixes. Since 177.67 ebuild was there almost immediatly and 177.68 is still not in portage maybe someone hasnt noticed its release.

Changes since 177.67:

    * Added support for the GeForce 9700M GTS.
    * Improved GPU video memory management coordination between the
      NVIDIA X driver and OpenGL implementation; this should
      improve performance with e.g. the KDE4 OpenGL compositing
      manager.
    * Fixed a RENDER corruption bug on GeForce 6 and 7 GPUs.
    * Fixed a bug that caused GLXBadDrawable errors to be generated
      when running more than one OpenGL application with
      anti-aliasing enabled on GeForce 6 and 7 GPUs, e.g. wine.
    * Fixed a bug that caused GPU errors when killing the X server
      while an OpenGL application is running.
    * Fixed a bug on GeForce 8, 9 and GTX GPUs that caused dynamic
      display configuration to fail on GPUs not currently
      driving an X screen.

Reproducible: Always

I think the current [URL] is more informative than [1]. :)
