Quadro NVS (notebook) support

mrbrown79 · 09-13-10, 11:38 AM

Hi all,

I noticed that the Quadro NVS (Notebook series) is no longer among the supported products on http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-d...53-driver.html . Earlier it has been supported, e.g. http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_d...100.14.09.html .

Is it really not supported by the recent Linux driver? After OS upgrade (to Fedora 13) I got the nouveau driver installed as default. I suspect the nouveau driver to cause heat problems, and on top of that, some of my X applications doesn't run as "smooth" as I experienced with the NVIDIA driver before the upgrade.

I actually tried to install the NVIDIA driver (through RPMfusion), but did not succeed - so now I'm curious whether the driver is supported or not.

EDIT: Just to emphasize: it is the Quadro NVS 140M graphics card. Some Q.NVS cards are mentioned, but none of them are (what I beleive to be) the notebook series.

Best regards,
Kenneth

I have 260.19.04 running fine with a Quadro NVS140M in a Lenovo R61.

Dell D630/ Quadro 135M - all ok with the 180/190/195/256/260 series drivers On Ubuntu 8.04/9.04/9.10, Debian Squeeze.
