I did lots of searching on the net regarding this problem, what I found is that 2.6.27 has been out there for months and this OLD driver has been known for a good long while. several distros have been "waiting" for months for this updated old drivers release. Alberto makes it seem like it just around the corner, but might not make it for the release date.
So, I'm asking: has anyone ACTUALLY contacted Nvidia and discussed with them their intent ? WHEN do they plan on releasing updated OLD drivers ? or are the devs here just assuming that Nivida will get around to it someday ? I have a notebook, I don't have the options of changing my video card - Geforce2 GO. it ran fine with the old drivers on hardy, however the new kernel 2.6.27 is far superior to 2.6.24 and memory requirements for 8.10 are much less than 8.04, I would much more like to run ubuntu 8.10 than 8.04 but if I cannot get the drivers I need then I can't use 8.10. SO, again, as much as we CAN know, what has Nvidia actually said about the old drivers and support for the new xorg ? -- [Intrepid] nvidia_drv.so: undefined symbol: AllocateScreenPrivateIndex https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251107 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
