 Posted: Mon Aug 14, 2006 8:22 pm Post subject: Next graphical drivers ? |
|
|
|
hello,
i compiled xorg X11R7.1 with kde 3.5.3 and kernel 2.6.16.5. i installed official drivers (8762) and all my fonts disappear when i put my mouse over. i'm currently running X11R7.1 with vesa driver which is not fast at all, but my fonts don't disappear. the nv driver doesn't works : display is not good such as incorrect frequencies. i think it's because nv driver doesn't support pci-e yet.
Here is my question : does someone know when 9xxx series of drivers are released ? I read somewhere on the web that it will support X11R7.1 but no releasing date 
thank you  |

Hello!
xorg 7.1 has ABI changes which are not compatible with the latest (8762) drivers from nVidia. In the next weeks there should be an new driver from nVidia available.
Disappearing fonts with the nvidia driver can be fixed by activating "full hinting" and subpixel (for LCD) rendering in the KDE control center or by GNOME: System->Settings->Fonts.
Or mine ~/.fonts.conf:
| Code: |
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
<const>hintfull</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig> |
Regards,
Marcus

I am running Ubuntu and I installed Nvidia's display drivers via EasyUbuntu utility.
How can I check the version of X.org I am running?
Will those new drivers eventually make their way into a repository and be pickup up by System Update?
Thanks |
