New NVIDIA Linux Video Drivers -- 9:54 am CST, Update by The Master

There are new drives available for NVIDIA video cards over on NVIDIA's website. There's also a changelog from the drivers available over on LinuxGames. I'm sure A.T. will be letting us know how these drivers do when he gets online. Thanks Blue.

A.T. Hun comments: I'll download them and check them out. I could never get the .92 drivers to install properly (the .93 changelog indicates that a "fix" they put in for TNTs in .92 really didn't fix anything; maybe that's the culprit). Hopefully these will work. Some folks on Linux Games are reporting that these drivers give a nice little speed boost (which is cool since they were pretty darn fast to begin with).

UPDATE! 11:10 A.M. I downloaded and installed the new drivers. Now NVIDIA automatically has you download the kernel source RPM if you are using Red Hat 6.2 or running a custom Linux kernel. The drivers work just fine now and give a slight speed increase on my TNT (42.3 fps in DEMO001 as opposed to 41.5 with the .91 drivers). If you've got an earlier version of these drivers, I'd say these .93 ones are a must-install.
