Finally and after seven years of hard work the free drivers for NVIDIA graphics cards, called New, finally the version arrives 1.0.
This project supports 2-monitor setups and 2D acceleration via EXA, as well as offering all the components necessary to achieve 3D acceleration with virtually all NVIDIA chips. |
Although Nvidia became a member of the Linux Foundation last March, it does not contribute to the development of free Nouveau drivers. NVIDIA is certainly doing things wrong, even worse when you consider how poorly other competitors such as AMD / ATI are doing. But all is not lost. For seven years, the Nouveau project has been working through reverse engineering to develop a driver capable of meeting the need to rely on proprietary NVIDIA drivers.
What better way to "fuck" NVIDIA than to celebrate this launch.

Linus Torvalds: Fuck you NVIDIA!
Linus Torvalds was presented at Aalto University in Finland, after being awarded the "Technological Oscar" in that country. During the question and answer phase, a girl asked him about the situation with Nvidia, which refuses to support Linux in its parts.
“Nvidia has been one of the worst problems we have had among hardware manufacturers. And that's really sad, because Nvidia tries to sell chips, a lot of chips on the Android market. Nvidia has been the worst company we've ever dealt with, ”said an annoyed Torvalds onstage. "So fuck you Nvidia," he said, raising his middle finger to face the camera.
"I think it's really sad when you sell hardware and use Linux and you're really obtuse about it," continued Torvalds, alluding to the fact that Nvidia's (Tegra) ARM chips are selling very well lately thanks to mobile devices. with Android.
To see the gesture, you have to advance the video above until minute 49:58.

I do not know but the noveau is going very bad or I do not understand it because with the 570 gtx it does not take the resolutions that it accepts or anything.
which windows ?????, I bought it without operating system. And although it is not my case now, where I bought it, they respond the same even for those who delete pre-installed windows, as I did several years ago with a compaq that I had and its couple of hardware problems (at that time I used dual partition and delete pre-installed windows vista .
The bad thing is that by booting Windows you will load the guarantee
well earned the comment
That is, thanks to Nouveau that I can use my new notebook I bought only 4 days ago with an nvidia card, without asking for more drivers (Linux Mint 13 cinnamon 64 bits), it is appreciated, so I can use games or heavy programs that without a doubt without that project could not use properly
