Nvidia released 1.0.7664 yesterday, haven't tried it yet.

Re: [mythtv-users] New nvidia driver released, ATI anyone?
I do, but I use the PVR350 for TV out. I use the ATI for driving my PSOne touchscreen display.

I use my Radeon 9700 Pro in Linux AMD64, and it works great. It isn't in my Mythbox, though just my desktop.

Re: [mythtv-users] New nvidia driver released
Nvidia released 1.0.7664 yesterday, haven't tried it yet. When I try to install it from ATRPMs it drags in kernel-2.6.10-1.770_14.rhfc3.at. I'm using kernel-2.6.11-1.27_FC3. Is there/will there be a version for this kernel version? Or am I somehow using a kernel version that I'm not supposed to be?
