Yesterday Nvidia has released updated drivers for its GeForce graphics cards, version 361.45 of the exclusive drivers for Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris operating systems.

The Nvidia 361.45.11 drivers comes as an update to the previous version, 361.42, thereby supporting the Nvidia Quadro graphics card for M5500 laptops. A minimum Linux Kernel 2.6.32 kernel requirement is also added for nvidia-uvm.ko, the Nvidia Unified Virtual Memory kernel module, a change that was also first introduced as part of the Nvidia 367.18 Beta drivers announced last week..

Users and developers are being informed that if they try to compile the new nvidia-uvm.ko on a Linux Kernel 2.6.32 or lower, the result will be a kernel stub module, causing the driver to work but not fully functional., so there could be loss of performance. Anyway, this Linux kernel is quite old today, about 5 years approximately.

Nvidia 361.45.11 Drivers Resolves Various Bugs on Linux

In this new version of the Nvidia 361.45.11 driver, they have focused on solving a series of errors and bugs present in previous versions, such as errors when configuring multi-monitor options or a problem that occurred when the user tried to run an application that uses the EGL_EXT_platform_device OpenGL extension, on a multi-core processor system.

The Nvidia 361.45.11 driver package is now available for download for 64-bit or 32-bit GNU / Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris systems.
