Hi all, I noted that the latest bunch of updates on weekly proposed nvidia-drivers:346.35 for all those running the previous 340.58 release. The problem is that, according to nVidia's supported products page (http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/81252/en-us) the newer driver dropped support for: GeForce 3xx GeForce 2xx GeForce 1xx GeForce 9xxx GeForce 8xxx ION And corresponding Quadro products.
Users running normal updates on weekly with such hardware will end up with a broken system. In one case I've seen the module preventing the system from booting, constantly printing information about the video card not being supported anymore, and suggesting a roll back to 340.58. Only solution was to boot from live, blacklist nvidia, downgrade drivers, whitelist nvidia. I suggest we keep 340.35 in our repositories as legacy branch. -- Ing. Dott.
