Nvidia has released new beta *nix display drivers, with version number 313.09. The drivers are available for Linux (32 bit), Linux (AMD64/EM64T), Solaris (x64/x86), FreeBSD (x86) and FreeBSD (x64). Specific installation instructions can be found on the individual pages. The changelog for this release shows the following changes and improvements:

Release Highlights

• Updated the NVIDIA X driver to reprobe displays when VT-switching to X, to allow reporting of hotplug events when displays are connected or disconnected while VT-switched away from X.
• Added unofficial GLX protocol support (ie for GLX indirect rendering) for the following extension and core commands.
  • ARB_vertex_array_object
  • OpenGL 3.0 commands
    • ClearBufferfi
    • ClearBufferfv
    • ClearBufferive
    • ClearBufferuiv
    • GetStringic
• Fixed a bug that caused the cursor shadow to be clipped to 32×32 pixels, even on Kepler GPUs that support a 256×256 cursor image.
• Fixed a bug that prevented some cursor image updates from taking effect on displays with rotation or other transformations applied.
• Fixed cursor alpha blending artifacts on displays with rotation or other transformations applied.
• Added support for the GLX_EXT_buffer_age extension.
• Improved the performance of glDrawPixels() by up to 450% when the pixel data is of type GL_BYTE.
• Fixed libnvidia-encode.so library dependency by linking it with libnvcuvid.so.1 instead of libnvcuvid.so while creating it.
• Improved performance of OpenGL framebuffer object binds with Xinerama enabled by 2000-3000% when the application’s windows do not span screen boundaries.
• Fix performance issues when using some versions of HyperMesh with Quadro GPUs.
