NVidia, the leading graphics chip maker, has released a new set of hardware drivers for
the GNU/Linux operating system, including a number of improvements to speed and
compatibility.

Until last year, Linux users could look forward to hours of tweaking, or even writing
drivers themselves, to get graphics hardware working on the platform. Last year,
however, nVidia started releasing OpenGL-compatible drivers that work across
various platforms, including Linux. These drivers were the fruits of a collaboration effort
with SGI, which created the OpenGL standard, used widely by games developers and
graphics card manufacturers.

The new drivers released today (release 1.0-1512), work with a range of nVidia
graphics processors, including TNT, GeForce and Quadro. In particular, they improve
support for nVidia's mobile chipset GeForce2 Go as well as for multi-thread support for
multi-processor systems. They also add support for Toshiba 3000-series laptops,
according to nVidia.

Linux, developed on the open-source model, is widely used in universities and servers,
but is gaining a foothold in workstations and desktops as well.
