71.86.11 (legacy,pre-release) for FreeBSD i386 released
 

Release highlights (changes since 71.86.09):

• Improved the installer to install the Linux TLS compatibility library appropriate for the host system's Linux emulation environment.
• Updated nvidia-bug-report.sh to automatically compress its log file; running `nvidia-bug-report.sh` now produces "nvidia-bug-report.log.gz".

Release highlights (changes since 71.86.06):

• Fixed the subpicture component order reported by the NVIDIA X driver's XvMC implementation.
• Fixed a server crash triggered by Kopete's 'new message' popup dialog when a composite manager is enabled.

The 71.86.11 NVIDIA Accelerated FreeBSD Graphics Driver Set for FreeBSD/i386 is available for download via FTP.

Please see the README for more information about this release.

If you are using FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE or a more recent FreeBSD 6.x release, please make sure that the compat5x package is installed.

Note that the gtk-2.x ports package(s) shipped with FreeBSD releases > 5.3-RELEASE are binary incompatible with those shipped with FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE; due to this, the `nvidia-settings` binary shipped with 71.86.11 will not work on FreeBSD > 5.3-RELEASE. This problem can be solved by (re-)building `nvidia-settings` from source:

# fetch ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nv...1.86.11.tar.gz
# tar zxf nvidia-settings-71.86.11.tar.gz
# cd nvidia-settings-1.0
# gmake
# install nvidia-settings /usr/X11R6/bin
