NVIDIA brings Vista-esque graphics to Linux
NVIDIA has officially released a Linux driver that supports a compatible version of the AIGLX instruction set.
The new driver, which was released yesterday and comes in at 12MB, adds a whole host of other features for users of the open source OS, including GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, a better display control panel and even support for Quad SLI.
The introduction of AIGLX-compatible instructions means that Linux users now have what is essentially a turnkey solution for Vista-level graphics.
