Download Driver For Nvidia Linux Display Driver 260.19.36

Nvidia has released new *nix display drivers with version number 260.19.36. The drivers are available for Linux (32 bit), Linux (AMD64/EM64T), Solaris (x64/x86), FreeBSD (x86) and nowadays also for FreeBSD (x64). Specific installation instructions can be found on the individual pages. In this release, the kernel module has been updated for better memory management and two issues have been fixed.

Release Highlights

• Updated the NVIDIA kernel module to ensure that all system memory allocated by it for use with GPUs or within user-space components of the NVIDIA driver stack is initialized to zero. A new NVIDIA kernel module option, InitializeSystemMemoryAllocations, allows administrators to revert to the previous behavior.
• Fixed a bug that caused X servers version 1.9 and higher to crash when color index overlays were enabled.
• Fixed a bug that caused pixel value 255 to be treated as transparent in color index overlays.
