Let me "copy/paste" from the official announcemnet¹: *** "(...) For this reason, NVIDIA is dropping support, on new GPUs, for the xf86-video-nv driver. Details: - NVIDIA will continue to support the existing functionality and existing level of acceleration in the nv driver for existing GPUs, on existing, and (within reason) future, X server versions. - NVIDIA will not support the xf86-video-nv driver on Fermi or later GPUs. - NVIDIA will not support DisplayPort, on any GPU, in the xf86-video-nv driver." *** So I think the "nv" driver will keep the same "bugs|features" that has right now and will still get some security patches, but I'm afraid that's all we (linux users) can expect. ¹ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2010-March/049749.html Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
