Description Vasco Steinmetz 2009-10-11 17:00:44 UTC

There's a new "stable" version 185.18.36 out on the official d/l page.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Carl Hudkins 2009-10-14 00:58:34 UTC

Indeed, and it was released in AUGUST.  See official announcement:

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122606

Could we get this into the tree, please?

Additionally, this would help with bug 279588.

Comment 3 Manfred Knick 2009-10-21 13:00:49 UTC

Last weekend, I just added
. . . media-video/nvidia-settings/nvidia-settings-185.18.36.ebuild
and 
. . . x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/nvidia-drivers-185.18.36.ebuild
to my local overlay
by only copying & renaming the latest ebuild version numbers to *.36.* : 
VOILA, everything works perfectly fine.

They should be added to the portage tree, at least as ~ .

I have been running 185.18.36 from my local overlay as described above for at least a month with no issues on x86 with the device "nVidia Corporation G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300]" after experiencing bug 279588.

Comment 5 Michał Guminiak 2009-10-21 15:29:17 UTC

Same story here, I'm currently using local overlay with renamed ebuild file without any problems.
Device: NVidia Quadro NVS 135M/PCI/SSE2.

x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-185.18.36 is in the tree. Thank you for your patience.

@peper: Will you do the honours of bumping nvidia-settings?
