New NVIDIA Linux Drivers -- 7:31 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

NVIDIA has released new drivers for various systems running Linux. There is 1.0-4191 for 32bit Athlon/Pentium, 1.0-4050 for the Itanium, and 1.0-4180 for the Athlon 64. These drivers feature OpenGL 1.4, GLX 1.3, and CineFX support. I installed these using the tarballs and added gcc options for the Athlon XP as well as editing os-registry.c to add side band addressing. They give a nice speedup in UT2K3 over the previous drivers. Some have reported 2D slowdowns, but I certainly haven't noticed anything.

Bjorn3D also posted an article on NVIDIA's Linux support. With today's releases, the NVIDIA drivers share 95% of their code with their Windows counterparts. Future releases and development for Windows and Linux will occur together. I for one applaud NVIDIA for their dedication to Linux gamers.
