Development Development Testing
1

Packages are here-x86_64 and here-i586. Please report any issues in this thread, if the issue is major then please file proper bug report here.

Legacy nVidia packages are “In Progress”, there are some issues to resolve before we can package them.

You all know the rule about testing right? “Test it now or regret it later”. :grin:

I guess the response means these drivers work flawlessly. :smiling_imp:

I installed it and, following the suggestion, I launched XFdrake from konsole.
The command gave nothing: no message, no window.
journalcl -f gives:

I’m unable to kill the process drakx11

I get a similar message when I try to shutdown the computer. I will open a new thread for this issue.

I also see something similar but only on intel processor based machine.

Yes, this laptop has two graphics cards: one Intel integrated and one Nvidia that I never succeeded to make it run.

I think it is related to the processor rather then the graphic chip.

Ok I guess it’s working for most. It certainlyis for me. I’ll release it.

I tested it on a desktop with GT 710. It works. It is even more stable then the nouveau driver.

These packages are now in non-free-updates. Closing topic.
