new nvidia driver in intrepid
Hello. In hardy is available a nvidia-envy driver with version 173.14.05, but in intrepid is version 169.12. Why intrepid doesn't have the latest version of nvidia driver? Greetings. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

I think it requires the kernel team to package a new linux-restricted-modules package, and this probably isn't right at the top of their list of priorities at the moment. Hope that helps Regards Chris Coulson -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Why intrepid doesn't have the latest version of nvidia driver? Greetings. nvidia-envy is a privately packaged version of the NVidia driver by Alberto Milone [1]. The actual Ubuntu NVidia driver in hardy (8.04) is 169.12 +2.6.24.13-19.42. intrepid is a fork of Debian's current packages, and so it's no requirement to have the latest NVidia driver, as they are not pulled from the actual source at NVidia. If you need a newer NVidia driver, you should file a bug report against nvidia-glx-new on Launchpad that will request an update. I hope that could clarify a couple of things. :-) Bye, Sebastian.
