NVIDIA's 302 Linux Driver Finally Has RandR 1.2/1.3
At long last, the NVIDIA binary Linux graphics driver properly implements support for versions 1.2 and 1.3 of RandR, the Resize and Rotate extension for the X.Org Server. This support comes with the newly-introduced 302.xx beta Linux graphics driver.
RandR 1.2 has been around for years -- about five years in a good state -- while RandR 1.3 has been around for about four years. The open-source X.Org drivers have largely all supported RandR 1.2/1.3 from the versions being merged into the X.Org Server and protocol headers while even the proprietary Catalyst driver has handled RandR 1.2+ support for quite a while. However, due to internal differences with the NVIDIA binary driver, its RandR 1.2+ support has been slow to come. RandR 1.4 was going to help NVIDIA, but that's been slow to come and it looks like with the 302.xx driver they've managed anyhow to support RandR 1.2/1.3.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
