Nvidia说:我们绝不会去支持非正式版的Xorg的(意思是Fedora 9的用户你们歇歇吧)。但在前几天,freedesktop.org发出话来说:估计我们到7月份,就能放出正式版的Xorg 7.4了。7月份。于是群众们坐不住了,开始给Nvidia施加更大的压力。终于,Nvidia 放出了173.14.05 linux版本驱动。这意味着Fedora 9下的Nvidia用户总算有官方驱动用了。
2 Xorg Server 1.5的preliminary(预?初步?)支持。意思是如果你的xorg因为人品或者别的问题还是没法用,你就认为这个驱动是初步支持。如果用的很好,CompizFusion很绚烂,那就是预支持。因为Xorg server 1.5还没出呢。
其余的就是bugfix了。
