Public bug reported: I have a Nvidia GT 720M in my laptop and the only Drivers Ubuntu supply me is 340 which is dated from 2014. I think that OLD version was left in the repo because of the bug I'm talking about here.
nvidia_supported script that generate a list of PCI ID from the README.txt have a problem that exclude a lot of PCI ID because of scripting error. Since 340 version, Nvidia changed the README.txt format, and the person who edited the nvidia_supported did some error there. This patch should resolve this and allow a LOT of Nvidia video card user to use modern and supported Drivers including support for VDPAU which finally give hardware video decoding support ! ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792849 Title: nvidia_supported have error excluding lot of supported video card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/1792849/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
