Nvidia Linux Display Driver 346.72 released, available for Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pinguy OS, Elementary OS, Deepin, Peppermint, LXLE, Linux Lite, Debian, Robolinux, SparkyLinux, Fedora, CentOS, OpenSUSE, Mageia, OpenMandriva, Arch Linux, Manjaro, ROSA Desktop etc.

Nvidia Linux Display Driver 346.72 released, available for Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pinguy OS, Elementary OS, Deepin, Peppermint, LXLE, Linux Lite, Debian, Robolinux, SparkyLinux, Fedora, CentOS, OpenSUSE, Mageia, OpenMandriva, Arch Linux, Manjaro, ROSA Desktop etc.

Nvidia Linux Display Driver is a proprietary, yet freely distributed OpenGL video driver that aims to offer support for Nvidia graphics cards on any Linux kernel-based operating system. This version has been designed to be installed only computers supporting the 64-bit architecture. For 32-bit support, see this link. It is a native Linux driver that provides users with only a command-line installer, as well as a settings panel. It’s also the number one choice for gaming users.

What's new in Nvidia Linux Display Driver 64-bit 346.72:

• Fixed a bug causing loss of stereo synchronization in certain Quadro Sync framelock configurations.
• Fixed Pixel Buffer Object operations when row length is less than width. GL_[UN]PACK_ROW_LENGTH can be set to a value lower than the width of the operation being carried out. The OpenGL specification allows for this (the source or destination lines will be overlapping). Previously, our implementation of Pixel Buffer Objects did not support this case and would throw an error.
• Fixed a rare deadlock condition when running applications that use OpenGL in multiple threads on a Quadro GPU.

What Nvidia graphics cards are supported by this driver?

Officially, the Nvidia Linux Display Driver supports a wide range of Nvidia graphics cards, much more than the open source Nouveau driver supports. Most of the ION, ION LE, Quadro Plex, Quadro Sync, GRID, NVS, nForce Professional 3000, Quadro FX, Quadro Blade, as well as all the GeForce series are supported at this time.

How to Download and Install Nvidia Linux Display Driver 346.72

How do I install the Nvidia graphics driver?

In order to install the Nvidia Linux Display Driver on your Linux box, you will have to first download the binary package using the “Download” button above, save the run file on your Home directory, open a TTY and execute the “sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-xxx.xx.run” command (without quotes), as root (with sudo), where xxx.xx is the version number.

Keep in mind though, that you will have to install the Linux kernel header packages first! During the installation, you will be asked if you want to manually edit the X configuration file or let the installer do all the hard work. Alternatively, it is possible to automatically configure it by running the nvidia-xconfig command via a Linux terminal emulator after the installation.

Nvidia 349.12 Beta Driver

Install - Update Nvidia 349.12 Beta Driver on Ubuntu 15.04 vivid Vervet, ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (LTS), Ubuntu 13.10/13.04/12.04 and Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Linux Mint 13 Maya via PPA

Nvidia Linux Display Driver is a proprietary OpenGL video driver that tries to bring support for the graphics cards produced by Nvidia on Linux-based operating systems. This version supports only the 32-bit architecture. For 64-bit support, see this link. Even if it provides a settings panel, the Nvidia Linux Display Driver is not an application. It is a hardware driver, which provides some instructions that tell an operating system how to use a piece of hardware.

According to the release notes, Nvidia 349.12 Beta video driver fixes a crash in the nvidia-settings tool, which occurred on systems with multiple X screens when the user assigned an attribute whose value was a display ID, introduces support for VDPAU Feature Set F to the NVIDIA VDPAU driver, and removes the "EnableACPIHotkeys" option.

Reporting of in-use video memory in the nvidia-settings tool just got a lot better, as it can now use the same accounting methods that are currently used in other utilities like nvidia-smi. In addition, a bug that prevented the changes of the graphics card’s fan speed to appear in the Thermal section of nvidia-settings control panel has been fixed, and hardware-accelerated decoding of H.265/HEVC video streams is now supported.

NVidia 349.12 Beta changelog

• Fixed a bug that caused nvidia-settings to crash when assigning an attribute whose value is a display ID on a system with multiple X screens.
• Updated the reporting of in-use video memory in the nvidia-settings control panel to use the same accounting methods used in other tools such as nvidia-smi. nvidia-settings was not taking some allocations into account, e.g. framebuffer memory for the efifb console on UEFI systems, causing discrepancies in the values reported by different tools.
• Removed the “EnableACPIHotkeys” X configuration option. This option has been deprecated and disabled by default since driver version 346.35. On modern Linux systems, display change hotkey events are delivered to the desktop environment as key press events, and the desktop environment handles the display change by issuing requests through the X Resize and Rotate extension (RandR).
• Added support for lossless H.264/AVC video streams to VDPAU.
• Added support for VDPAU Feature Set F to the NVIDIA VDPAU driver. GPUs with VDPAU Feature Set F are capable of hardware-accelerated decoding of H.265/HEVC video streams.
• Fixed a bug that prevented GPU fan speed changes from getting reflected in the text box on Thermal settings page.
• Added nvidia-settings commandline support to query the current and targeted GPU fan speed.
• Added a checkbox to nvidia-settings to enable a visual indicator that shows when G-SYNC is being used. This is helpful for displays that don’t indicate themselves whether they are operating in G-SYNC mode or normal mode.
• Added support for the X.Org X server’s “-background none” option. When enabled, the NVIDIA driver will try to copy the framebuffer console’s contents out of /dev/fb0. If that cannot be done, then the screen is cleared to black.
• Added support for YUV 4:2:0 compression to enable HDMI 2.0 4K@60Hz modes when either the display or GPU is incapable of driving these modes in RGB 4:4:4
• Fixed a bug that could cause multi-threaded applications to crash when multiple threads used the EGL driver at the same time.
• Fixed a bug that caused Sync to VBlank to not work correctly with XVideo applications in certain configurations.
• Fixed a bug that prevented the X driver from correctly interpreting some X configuration options when a display device name was given with a GPU UUID qualifier.
• Fixed a bug that artificially limited the maximum pixel clock on displays in some SLI Mosaic configurations.
• Fixed a kernel memory leak that occurred when looping hardware-accelerated video decoding with VDPAU on Maxell-based GPUs.
• Fixed a bug that could cause nvidia-settings to crash on exit on 32-bit Linux systems.

Nvidia Linux Legacy Display Driver 340.76 released, Install/update on Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse, Debian, RHEL, Slackware and Arch Linux

Nvidia Linux Legacy Display Driver 340.76 (32 bit & 64 bit) released, Install/update on Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Ubuntu 15.04 vivid Vervet, ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (LTS), Fedora 21, Fedora 20, Fedora 19, Fedora 18, OpenSuse 13.2, openSUSE 13.1, openSUSE 12.3, Debian 8 "jessie" (upcoming), Debian 7 "wheezy", Debian 6 "squeeze", RHEL, Slackware, CentOS 6, CentOS 7 and Arch Linux

Nvidia Linux Display Driver is a proprietary OpenGL video driver that tries to bring support for the graphics cards produced by Nvidia on Linux-based operating systems. This version supports only the 32-bit architecture. Even if it provides a settings panel, the Nvidia Linux Display Driver is not an application. It is a hardware driver, which provides some instructions that tell an operating system how to use a piece of hardware.

What's New in This Release:

What's New in This Release:

• Fixed a bug that caused frequent AMD-Vi page faults on systems with some AMD 8xx/9xx-series chipsets when used with some NVIDIA GPUs.
• Fixed a regression that could cause system crashes when terminating the X server on systems with an NVIDIA Quadro SDI Capture card installed.
• Fixed a bug that caused audio over HDMI to not work on some GPUs while using a display that supports HDMI 3D.

These days, many Linux flavors are bundled with an open source driver for Nvidia graphics cards, called Nouveau, created by a group of developers who work for the freedesktop.org project.

The good thing about the Nouveau driver is that it works pretty well by default and it's integrated into the upstream Linux kernel, so you don’t have to download or install anything on your Linux operating system.

Supports a wide range of legacy Nvidia GPUs

This legacy driver plays well with most of the old GeForce series GPUs (Graphics Processing Units). If you have a laptop or PC equipped with an old Nvidia GPU, and you have issues with the default Nouveau open source driver, you may want to install the Nvidia Linux Legacy Display Driver.

Nvidia Linux Display Driver is a proprietary OpenGL video driver that tries to bring support for the graphics cards produced by Nvidia on Linux-based operating systems. This version supports only the 32-bit architecture. For 64-bit support, see this link. Even if it provides a settings panel, the Nvidia Linux Display Driver is not an application. It is a hardware driver, which provides some instructions that tell an operating system how to use a piece of hardware.

Release Highlights :

• Added support for the following GPUs:
GeForce 800A
GeForce 800M
GeForce GTX 970M
GeForce GTX 980M
• Added support for X.Org xserver ABI 19 (xorg-server 1.17).
• Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
• Fixed a bug that prevented internal 4K panels on some laptops from being driven at a sufficient bandwidth to support their native resolutions.
• Fixed a regression that prevented the NVIDIA kernel module from loading in some virtualized environments such as Amazon Web Services.
• Fixed a regression that caused displays to be detected incorrectly on some notebook systems.
• Fixed a bug that could cause X to freeze when using Base Mosaic.
• Fixed a regression that prevented the NVIDIA X driver from recognizing Base Mosaic layouts generated by the nvidia-settings control panel.
• Updated the NVIDIA X driver to reject frame packed interlaced HDMI 3D modes during mode validation. These modes were being validated by the driver, despite never having been supported.
• Fixed a bug that prevented the console from being restored after forcefully terminating X, on some GPUs with multiple DisplayPort monitors attached. This bug also subsequently prevented X from being started following the failed console restoration.
• Updated the version of libvdpau shipped with the driver to 0.9. This version honors the VDPAU_DRIVER_PATH environment variable and fixes a race condition if multiple threads call VdpDeviceCreateX11 simultaneously. See http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/vdpau/2014-December/000274.html for more information.
  Please note that users are encouraged to use their distribution's libvdpau packages rather than relying on the one shipped with the NVIDIA graphics driver.
• Fixed a bug that caused the ACPI hotkey mask to be set incorrectly on some laptops even when the EnableACPIHotkeys option is disabled.
• Disabled the EnableACPIHotkeys option by default. This option is now considered deprecated and will be removed in a future driver release. On modern Linux systems, display change hotkey events are delivered to the desktop environment as key press events, and the desktop environment handles the display change by issuing requests through the X Resize and Rotate extension (RandR).
• Fixed a bug that caused the screen image to be shifted when screen transformations (such as rotations or reflections) were enabled on a G-SYNC display attached to a Kepler-based GPU.
• Fixed a bug that caused a blank screen when setting a mode requiring YUV 4:2:0 compression. These modes are not currently supported.
• Fixed a bug that caused an incorrect DisplayPort link configuration to be displayed after a hotplug or unplug.
• Added support for decoding VP8 video streams using the NVCUVID API on GPUs with VP8 hardware decode support.
• Added support for the following EGL extensions:
EGL_EXT_device_base
EGL_EXT_platform_device
EGL_EXT_output_base
• Added the ability to increase the operating voltage on certain GeForce GPUs in the GeForce GTX 400 series and later. Voltage adjustments are done at the user's own risk. See the documentation on the "CoolBits" X configuration option in the README for details.
• Added support for NVENC on GeForce GPUs. For more details on the NVENC SDK, see: https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk.
• Removed a sanity check in nvidia-installer that tested the availability of POSIX shared memory. The NVIDIA GPU driver has not required POSIX shared memory since release 270.xx.
• Removed the NVIDIA Unified Memory kernel module, nvidia-uvm.ko, from the driver package on 32-bit architectures.
• Added accelerated support for r8g8b8a8, r8g8b8x8, b8g8r8a8 and b8g8r8x8 RENDER formats.
• Updated nvidia-settings to take advantage of GTK+ 3, when available. This is implemented by building the nvidia-settings user interface into separate shared libraries (libnvidia-gtk2.so, libnvidia-gtk3.so), and loading the correct one at run-time.
• Added the nvidia-settings option --gtk-library to allow specifying the path of the directory containing the user interface library or the path and filename of the specific library to use.
• Added support in nvidia-settings for a GTK+ 3 user interface on x86 and x86_64.
• Added the nvidia-settings option --use-gtk2 to force the use of the GTK+ 2 UI library.
• Updated nvidia-installer to install a file in the system's xorg.conf.d directory, when a sufficiently new X server is detected, to cause the X server to load the "nvidia" X driver automatically if it is started after the NVIDIA kernel module is loaded. This feature is supported in X.Org xserver 1.16 and higher when running on Linux 3.9 or higher with CONFIG_DRM enabled.
• Improved the performance of nvidia-installer by enabling the use of parallel make when building the NVIDIA kernel modules. The concurrency level can be set with the --concurrency-level option, and defaults to the number of detected CPUs.
• Updated nvidia-installer to determine default installation locations for libraries based on the presence of known paths in the ldconfig(8) cache and the filesystem, rather than hardcoded distro-specific paths.
• Fixed a GLSL compiler bug that would produce corruption when running games such as Far Cry 3 in Wine.
• Fixed the EGL_KHR_stream_cross_process_fd extension.
• Fixed rendering corruption that sometimes happened when calling DrawElementsInstancedBaseVertexBaseInstance(), DrawElementsInstancedBaseInstance(), or DrawArraysInstancedBaseInstance().
• Dramatically improved OpenGL Framebuffer Object creation performance.
• Removed the limit on the maximum number of OpenGL Framebuffer Objects.
• Updated the NVIDIA OpenGL driver to prefer $XDG_CACHE_HOME over $HOME as the default location for storing the GL shader disk cache.

AMD Release New Catalyst 14.12 Omega Driver With Fix Some Error for Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn

 

AMD Catalyst 14.12

AMD Release New Catalyst 14.12 Omega Driver With Fix Some Error for Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn

AMD has released at this time the new Catalyst 14.12 driver, update that includes support for Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic 

AMD Catalyst (formerly ATI Radeon Linux Display Drivers) is a free project that tries to distribute proprietary drivers for all ATI and AMD Radeon graphics cards on Linux-based operating systems.

AMD Features at a glance

It provides support for TV output on AMD graphics cards that support TV-out functionality. In addition, it allows for the following monitor arrangements: Laptop Mode, Clone Mode, Big Desktop, and Dual Head. While the Laptop mode lets users to toggle between internal or external screen of a laptop, the Clone mode will display the same content on both monitors. Furthermore, the Big Desktop option will stretch a single desktop across two screens, and Dual Head separates instances of X running on each screen.

What's New in version 14.12 :

New Features:

• OpenCL 2.0 support (requires 64-bit OS and compatible AMD Radeon™ R Series GPU)
• VAAPI decoding support (H264, VC1, MPEG2, MPEG4)
• Distribution specific package support for Ubuntu and Red Hat

Resolved Issues:

• [402835]: Unexpected pixmap's time stamp change on Ubuntu with composite enabled causes Linux Khronos CTS to randomly fail
• [403420]: Driver install can sometimes have an error in Ubuntu 14.10 using GPL symbol before Kernel 3.16
• [405011]: Driver installation may intermittently fail on Kernel 3.9.0
• [409856]: Generate Distribution Specific Package' mode of Catalyst install does not create symbolic links for libGL
• [407550]: Driver upgrade failed in Ubuntu with specific drivers

AMD Supports 32-bit and 64-bit distributions

The drivers suite provides native graphical installers for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, and it is known to work well with the major Linux operating systems, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise, openSUSE and Ubuntu.

AMD Supported GPUs

For years, users of AMD GPUs struggled to make their graphics cards work on Linux-based operating systems. Some graphics cards work well, but many are quite buggy with major open source projects, such as the GNOME desktop environment.

Almost all desktop AMD Radeon graphics cards series are supported by this driver, including R9 290/280X/270X/260X/, R7 250/240, and HD 8000/7000/6000/5000. Also, it supports the AMD Radeon HD 7600A/7450A/6600A/6350A all-in-one desktop products, AMD Radeon E6760 and E6460 embedded product family, as well as the AMD Radeon R7, HD 8000D/7000D/6000D/8000G/7000G/6000G APU product family.

In addition, AMD Catalyst is compatible with the following AMD mobility product family GPUs: AMD Radeon HD 8000M, 7000M, 6000M and 5000. X.Org 7.4 and above, X.Org Server up to 1.15 and Linux kernel 2.6 or above (up to 3.13) are also supported.

Nvidia Linux Display Driver 64-bit 343.36 released, you can install on Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Debian, Redhat, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Gentoo, Arch Linux, Slackware, Mageia, Manjaro, CentOS and Most Popular Linux Distro


Nvidia Linux Display Driver 64-bit is a proprietary, yet freely distributed OpenGL video driver that aims to offer support for Nvidia graphics cards on any Linux kernel-based operating system. This version has been designed to be installed only computers supporting the 64-bit architecture. For 32-bit support, see this link. It is a native Linux driver that provides users with only a command-line installer, as well as a settings panel. It’s also the number one choice for gaming users.

What's New in This Release:

• Added support for X.Org xserver ABI 19 (xorg-server 1.17).
• Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
• Fixed a bug that rendered very bright garbage data onto some textures in UnrealEngine 4 applications. This issue is known as the "disco bug" by the UnrealEngine 4 Linux community.
• Added option UseSysmemPixmapAccel to control the use of GPU acceleration for X drawing operations on pixmaps allocated in system memory.
• Fixed a regression that prevented the NVIDIA X driver from recognizing Base Mosaic layouts generated by the nvidia-settings control panel.
• Fixed a bug that could cause VT-switching to fail following a suspend, resume, and driver reload sequence.
• Fixed a bug that caused incorrect colors to be displayed on X screens running at depth 8 on some GPUs.
• Fixed a bug that prevented GPUs from being correctly recognized in MetaMode strings when identified by UUID.
• Implemented support for disabling indirect GLX context creation using the -iglx option available on X.Org server release 1.16 and newer.  Note that future X.Org server releases may make the -iglx option the default. To re-enable support for indirect GLX on such servers, use the +iglx option.
• Added the "AllowIndirectGLXProtocol" X config option.  This option can be used to disallow use of GLX protocol.  See "Appendix B. X Config Options" in the README for more details.
• Fixed a crash with UnrealEngine 4 when the application was started with the -opengl4 commandline switch.
• Fixed an OpenGL issue that could cause glReadPixels() operations to be improperly clipped when resizing composited application windows, potentially leading to momentary X freezes.
• Fixed a bug that could prevent the GLSL compiler from correctly evaluating some expressions when compiling shaders.
• Fixed a bug that could cause nvidia-installer to crash while attempting to run nvidia-xconfig on systems where that utility is missing.
• Fixed a bug that could prevent 32-bit GPU-based applications from running correctly on 64-bit systems when using GPUs with very large memory-mapped I/O regions.
• Fixed a bug that could cause the CUDA debugger to fail after exiting X on systems with persistence mode enabled.
• Fixed a bug that could cause silent and intermittent failures when a CUDA application writes to a peer device's memory with GPUDirect.
• Updated nvidia-installer to avoid writing to non-zero offsets of sysctl files in /proc/sys/kernel.

What Nvidia graphics cards are supported by this driver?

Officially, the Nvidia Linux Display Driver supports a wide range of Nvidia graphics cards, much more than the open source Nouveau driver supports. Most of the ION, ION LE, Quadro Plex, Quadro Sync, GRID, NVS, nForce Professional 3000, Quadro FX, Quadro Blade, as well as all the GeForce series are supported at this time.

Is my Linux distribution supported?

During our tests, here at the Softpedia Testing Labs, we’ve successfully installed the Nvidia Linux Display Driver on numerous distributions of Linux, including the popular Ubuntu. It plays well with Arch Linux, Debian GNU/Linux, Linux Mint, openSUSE, Fedora, and many other well-known Linux kernel-based OSes.

How do I install the Nvidia graphics driver?

In order to install the Nvidia Linux Display Driver on your Linux box, you will have to first download the binary package using the “Download” button above, save the run file on your Home directory, open a TTY and execute the “sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-xxx.xx.run” command (without quotes), as root (with sudo), where xxx.xx is the version number.

Keep in mind though, that you will have to install the Linux kernel header packages first! During the installation, you will be asked if you want to manually edit the X configuration file or let the installer do all the hard work. Alternatively, it is possible to automatically configure it by running the nvidia-xconfig command via a Linux terminal emulator after the installation. Follow this page for installation on Linux System 32 bit.

• Fixed a bug that prevented GPUs from being correctly recognized in MetaMode strings when identified by UUID.
• Implemented support for disabling indirect GLX context creation using the -iglx option available on X.Org server release 1.16 and newer.  Note that future X.Org server releases may make the -iglx option the default. To re-enable support for indirect GLX on such servers, use the +iglx option.
• Added the "AllowIndirectGLXProtocol" X config option.  This option can be used to disallow use of GLX protocol.  See "Appendix B. X Config Options" in the README for more details.
• Fixed a crash with UnrealEngine 4 when the application was started with the -opengl4 commandline switch.
• Fixed an OpenGL issue that could cause glReadPixels() operations to be improperly clipped when resizing composited application windows, potentially leading to momentary X freezes.
• Fixed a bug that could prevent the GLSL compiler from correctly evaluating some expressions when compiling shaders.
• Fixed a bug that could cause nvidia-installer to crash while attempting to run nvidia-xconfig on systems where that utility is missing.
• Fixed a bug that could prevent 32-bit GPU-based applications from running correctly on 64-bit systems when using GPUs with very large memory-mapped I/O regions.
• Fixed a bug that could cause the CUDA debugger to fail after exiting X on systems with persistence mode enabled.
• Fixed a bug that could cause silent and intermittent failures when a CUDA application writes to a peer device's memory with GPUDirect.
• Updated nvidia-installer to avoid writing to non-zero offsets of sysctl files in /proc/sys/kernel.

Supports a wide range of Nvidia GPUs

In our tests, we’ve discovered that the Nvidia Linux Display Driver supports much more Nvidia graphics cards than the open source Nouveau driver. It plays well with most of the ION, ION LE, Quadro Plex, Quadro Sync, GRID, NVS, nForce Professional 3000, Quadro FX, Quadro Blade, as well as all the GeForce series.

All in all, if you have a PC or laptop equipped with an Nvidia GPU, and you have issues with the default Nouveau open source driver, you may want to install the Nvidia Linux Display Driver. It’s also the number one choice for gaming users.

Installing Nvidia Linux Display Driver

In order to install the Nvidia Linux Display Driver on your Linux machine, one needs to download the binary package using the “Download” button above, save the file on their Home folder and execute the sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-xxx.xx.run command, as root, in a Linux Terminal (where xxx.xx is the version number).

During the installation, users will be asked if they want to edit the X configuration file manually or let the installer do all the work. Alternatively, after installation, you can run the nvidia-xconfig command via a Linux Terminal to set the new driver as the default one.

Nvidia FreeBSD Display Driver 343.36 is released, Nvidia for FreeBSD operating systems running on 32-bit and 64-bit architectures

Nvidia FreeBSD Display Driver 343.36 is released, available for

Nvidia FreeBSD Display Driver is a proprietary OpenGL video driver that tries to support the graphics cards produced by Nvidia on FreeBSD operating systems. The driver is distributed in different branches, as Short Lived (short term supported) or Long Lived (long term supported), offering support for both 32-bit and 64-bit instruction set architectures.

What's New in This Release:

• Added support for X.Org xserver ABI 19 (xorg-server 1.17).
• Updated the driver installation makefiles to use LOCALBASE instead of X11BASE to determine the default installation paths.
• Fixed a bug that rendered very bright garbage data onto some textures in UnrealEngine 4 applications. This issue is known as the "disco bug" by the UnrealEngine 4 Linux community.
• Added option UseSysmemPixmapAccel to control the use of GPU acceleration for X drawing operations on pixmaps allocated in system memory.
• Fixed a regression that prevented the NVIDIA X driver from recognizing Base Mosaic layouts generated by the nvidia-settings control panel.
• Fixed a bug that could cause VT-switching to fail following a suspend, resume, and driver reload sequence.
• Fixed a bug that caused incorrect colors to be displayed on X screens running at depth 8 on some GPUs.
• Fixed a bug that prevented GPUs from being correctly recognized in MetaMode strings when identified by UUID.
• Implemented support for disabling indirect GLX context creation using the -iglx option available on X.Org server release 1.16 and newer.  Note that future X.Org server releases may make the -iglx option the default. To re-enable support for indirect GLX on such servers, use the +iglx option.
• Added the "AllowIndirectGLXProtocol" X config option.  This option can be used to disallow use of GLX protocol.  See "Appendix B. X Config Options" in the README for more details.
• Fixed a crash with UnrealEngine 4 when the application was started with the -opengl4 commandline switch.
• Fixed an OpenGL issue that could cause glReadPixels() operations to be improperly clipped when resizing composited application windows, potentially leading to momentary X freezes.
• Fixed a bug that could prevent the GLSL compiler from correctly evaluating some expressions when compiling shaders.

Nvidia FreeBSD Display Driver 343.36 is released, Nvidia for FreeBSD operating systems running on 32-bit and 64-bit architectures

In order to install the Nvidia FreeBSD Display Driver, the user must download from the Downloads section above the package that corresponds to its hardware architecture, enter a console session and execute the “tar xzf NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86_64-xxx.xx.tar.gz && cd NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86_64-xxx.xx & make install” on 64-bit systems or the “tar xzf NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-xxx.xx.tar.gz && cd NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-xxx.xx & make install” command for 32-bit systems, as root, where xxx.xx is the version number of the driver.

Download for FreeBSD x64

Download for FreeBSD x86

Before you run the above commands, keep in mind that you must first install the kernel header for your FreeBSD box. During the installation, users will be asked if they want to let the installer automatically configure the newly installed driver and optimize it for their graphics cards. Alternatively, expert users can manually edit the X configuration file, or, after installation, they can execute the “nvidia-xconfig’ command via a Linux terminal emulator to set the Nvidia driver as default for their system.

Is my FreeBSD box supported?

Yes, most probably! We’ve successfully tested both the Short Lived and Long Lived braches of this driver with the current stable releases of the FreeBSD operating system, here at the Softpedia Labs. Both 64-bit (x86_64) and 32-bit (x86) hardware platforms are supported at this time.

What about old Nvidia graphics card!

Because we’ve received many complaints from our FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris users running very old Nvidia graphics cards, we feel obliged to mention here that this driver will not work with their video cards. Therefore, you should search Softpedia for the latest Nvidia FreeBSD Legacy Display Drivers.
