Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver

• Added Support for GeForce GTX 460
• Added Support for Quadro 4000, Quadro 5000, and Quadro 6000.
• Updated nvidia-installer to detect the nouveau kernel module and fail with an appropriate error message.
• Added information to the NVIDIA driver README on how to disable the nouveau driver.
• Fixed VDPAU to not print a debug error message when calling VdpVideoMixerQueryFeatureSupport with an unsupported or unknown VdpVideoMixerFeature.
• Removed the requirement that in TwinView passive stereo, MetaModes must have identical viewports on each monitor.
• Removed the requirement that in active stereo, all monitors must use identical modetimings.
• Enhanced VDPAU to better report certain kinds of initialization error.
• Fixed a regression that caused Xv to return BadAlloc errors on AGP systems when using the AGP GART driver contained in the NVIDIA driver.This fixes the problem reported in nvnews.net thread 151199.

Note that many Linux distributions provide their own packages of the NVIDIA Linux Graphics Driver in the distribution's native package management format. This may interact better with the rest of your distribution's framework, and you may want to use this rather than NVIDIA's official package.

Also note that SuSE users should read the SuSE NVIDIA Installer HOWTO before downloading the driver.

Installation instructions: Once you have downloaded the driver, change to the directory containing the driver package and install the driver by running, as root, sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.44-pkg2.run

One of the last installation steps will offer to update your X configuration file. Either accept that offer, edit your X configuration file manually so that the NVIDIA X driver will be used, or run nvidia-xconfig

See the README for more detailed instructions.
