Nvidia Linux Display Driver 270.41.19

May 23, 2011 By 10 Comments

Nvidia released a new version of it’s Linux Display Driver. The version number is 270.41.19 and can be obtained from: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/linux-display-ia32-270.41.19-driver-uk.html

These are the highlights:

  • Fixed a bug in the VDPAU presentation queue that could cause 1 second hangs when transitioning from blit-based display to overlay- based display. This would most commonly happen when disabling a compositing manager.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause crashes when capturing SDI video.
  • Fixed a corner-case in which the OpenGL driver could leak resources in applications utilizing fork().
  • Addressed a Linux kernel interface compatibility problem that could lead to ioremap() errors and, potentially, functional and/or stability problems.
  • Fixed a bug that caused SLI initialization to fail on some Intel based systems.
  • Fixed a bug that caused SLI initialization to fail when using recent Linux kernels, such as 2.6.38.

    * sudo reboot

    Would a manual update screw any future automatic updates of that driver (e.g. via apt-get update)?

    I have a blanck screen after the reboot.
    Kern.log said :

    [ 423.773217] NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 270.41.19, but
    [ 423.773223] NVRM: this kernel module has the version 270.41.06. Please
    [ 423.773227] NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver
    [ 423.773231] NVRM: components have the same version.

    Am I the only one with this error ?
    Thanks.

    I used this update method and it worked. http://xbmcnut.posterous.com/2010/08/updating-nvidia-drivers-to-25635-for.html

    However, now my colors are washed out for some reason. Investigating…

    this worked flawless for me on:
    generic xbmc-10.1-live and on xbmcfreak-1000-msremote-v1.

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-iquik/nvidia-vpau

    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

    sudo reboot
