NVIDIA Proprietary Driver Upgrade

Posted on Nov 11, 2012 | 0 comments

For a long time SolusOS 1 has remained reliant on Debian Squeeze for proprietary drivers. Unfortunately, drivers progress too quickly to be accounted for by a static base, so we are now maintaining the driver packages ourselves where possibly, and backporting where feasible. The nvidia proprietary graphics driver has now been updated to version 304.48-1+eveline1 (304.48). Please upgrade via the Update Manager when prompted.
