The legacy xf86-video-nv X.Org driver, which provides user-space mode-setting for pre-Fermi NVIDIA GPUs, has received its first release in over two years. Version 2.1.24 was issued by Oracle engineer Alan Coopersmith and includes minor maintenance fixes, improved man page formatting, compiler fixes, and added support for the GeForce GT 320M. The driver has been largely obsolete since around 2010, with Nouveau being the recommended alternative. Coopersmith also released several other X.Org component updates including font-util 1.4.2, xbitmaps 1.1.4, xrandr 1.5.4, and libXpm 3.5.19.
