I fired off an email to nvidia to clear up a few things and here's the good news:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joseph, Thanks for writing. I believe that its my nvnews post that you've referenced below. Both the 1.0-71xx and 1.0-96xx legacy branches will continue to be supported for critical bug fixes, and future Linux kernel & Xorg compatibility updates. We're aware that 1.0-96xx is not clearly labeled as a legacy branch here and are taking steps to correct that: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html However, 1.0-9631 remains available via the Archive links on that same webpage. Please let me know if you have further questions or concerns. thanks, Lonni J Friedman NVIDIA Corporation ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to Ben for the news that 9631 will be in Feisty! :) -- MASTER: Request for new-legacy nvidia drivers (9631) https://launchpad.net/bugs/96430 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
