X 1.11 with legacy 96 driver, new driver release date?

andriy354 · 12-17-11, 12:58 AM

Hi All,

After installing arch, I realized that when I install 96 legacy driver (nvidia 440 mx), I cant's run x due to an issue with ABI support... Even when I disable ABI check, kde crashes and fails to run...

My question is very simple...

When (time frame... weeks, months) will a new legacy driver come out with x 1.11 support?
I really need this answer because I am admin on this machine and need to know wheather to wait for the driver or downgrade to x 1.10...

Please reply,

Sincerely,

Andriy

Rule number one with nvidia linux: There are no ETAs.

So downgrade X.

For a 440mx i would use nouveau.
