14 DAY TRIAL // NVIDIA has just announced the immediate availability for download of the 173.14.39 Legacy version of its graphics driver for Linux operating systems.
NVIDIA is still providing upgrades for the old graphic cards, although you shouldn’t expect too many improvements. This is still a legacy release.
According to the developers, support has been added for the X.org xserver ABI 15 (xorg-server 1.15).
Also, the nvidia-installer has been upgraded in order to consider the "libglamoregl.so" X loadable extension module to be in conflict with the NVIDIA OpenGL driver. This module can cause the NVIDIA libGL to be loaded into the same process (the X server) as the NVIDIA libglx.so extension module.
Check out the changelog for a complete list of fixes and improvements.
