I tried to just rename everything, but the koutput patch would not apply. When I skipped that everything seems to work though.

OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce FX 5900/AGP/SSE/3DNOW!
OpenGL version string: 1.5.1 NVIDIA 61.11

Comment 2 Aaron Gyes 2004-08-05 15:05:17 UTC

Uh oh. In the changelog they say nvidia-settings has been updated, however there is no new tarball at their site, the latest still appears to be 1.0.

Comment 3 Aaron Gyes 2004-08-05 15:10:18 UTC

Actually, upon further investigation and talking to some people, it looks like they simply reuploaded without changing the version number.

Comment 4 Andrew Bevitt 2004-08-05 16:44:38 UTC

I will get to this in a few hours...

Comment 5 Andrew Bevitt 2004-08-05 18:03:43 UTC

Scrap that... they just went into CVS

nVidia have changed the version so it now takes a SYSOUT parameter for the kouput directory (similar to the 6106 patch we had for this). They have also added the appropriate includes.

Have tested this under x86 and amd64; gl here seems about 50fps slower with glxgears though :( 

amd64 mark as you will.

Comment 6 Aaron Gyes 2004-08-05 18:05:15 UTC

What are you going to do about nvidia-settings? Pretty soon people are going to be getting broken digests because 1.0 is different than it used to be.

Comment 7 Andrew Bevitt 2004-08-05 18:39:40 UTC

See nvidia-settings-1.0.6111 which I just commited to cvs.

Basically I just manually mirrored the tarball for now until nvidia does something.

Comment 8 Andrew Bevitt 2004-08-16 05:39:51 UTC

OK done and done...
