quick question linux-ck-nvidia

clickdark · 2012-08-02 22:52:27

I just picked up a lenovo t-61 with nvidia nvs 140m graphics. I noticed that the ck-repo has nvidia beta drivers, but the numbering from the from nvidia's site doesnt match. Has anyone used these drivers with this setup? Its not a big deal to rebuild the kernel, but it would be nice to always have the latest ck-kernel- nvidia drivers and not rebuild all the time.
Thanks.

I suspect graysky will be along soon with more specific info, but I for one am using the repo-ck nvidia package on an older work machine. I have not updated that one in a bit (a few weeks perhaps) but at least up till then it worked great.

edit: I should clarify - it still works great, I just don't have first hand experience with any more recent updates to it.

edit2: oops, I missed the "beta" part. I just have the stable version of course.

I don't have the nvidia-beta-ck drivers on the repo. The repo hosts the stable line of nvidia drivers. Feel free to compile the beta drivers from the AUR if you wish.
