[email] [print]  nVidia Driver Testers Wanted...

May 01, 2004 14:36 UTC, by Chris Simmons, Senior Journalist.
From the dvi-up-baby department...

Rudolf has an important, updated version of his nVidia driver that he needs testing of... I will let Rudolf explain:

"I have another update on the driver's progress for you today. I just updated CVS to 0.10-17, which is a version I'd like to see tested as much as is possible on laptops and cards with DVI panels connected. It could be that this version works on all laptops and DVI panels outthere, but then again, trouble might still exist.
I have a few DPMS-like things that might be needed, but without feedback accompanied with logfiles followed by a few simple tests: I can't be sure about this. I can't enable this stuff unless I get your help!

So, you can download the latest build here, for your testing pleasure. The driver has come a long way in supporting laptop and DVI panels, while it should be just as stable as release 0.09: so try it! Chances are good it actually works... These days your panel will even be used as primary output no matter what, to name a nice thing. And if you aren't satisfied, simply switch head use via the new 'switchhead' option in the nv.settings file :-). For a full list of updates done in the driver since version 0.09, look here.

OK: that's it for today. I'll be waiting for your feedback..."


So, go now, download that driver, and help out. :)
