Since when did Nvidia stop offering the latest downloads via their website? Or is this just an excuse for you to continue to be lazy instead of downloading the source and compiling it yourself? Do you complain to Window developers because they supply outdated WHQL drivers on Windows and that you have to go download them from Nvidia directly? Probably not... my suggestion is your realize the real facts that all operating systems provide outdated drivers and it's your job to update them if you want the latest drivers and to expect the distro to be able to keep up like that is silly to say the least. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
