• Added support for X.org xserver ABI 15 (xorg-server 1.15).
• Fixed a bug that caused the X server to crash if video memory is exhausted and the GPU does not support rendering to system memory.
• Updated nvidia-installer to make the --multiple-kernel-modules option imply the --no-unified-memory option: Unified memory is incompatible with multiple kernel modules.
• Improved the robustness of the NVIDIA X driver in scenarios where GPU-accessible memory for allocating pixmaps was exhausted.
• Added NV-CONTROL attributes to control the brightness of the illuminated logos on certain graphics boards.For example, to turn off the illumination of the "GEFORCE GTX" lettering on the GeForce GTX 780, use
  nvidia-settings --assign GPULogoBrightness=0
• Fixed a bug that prevented screen transformations from being applied properly when starting X.
• GLX protocol for the following OpenGL extensions from OpenGL 2.1 and OpenGL 3.0 have been promoted from unofficial to ARB approved official status:
GL_ARB_pixel_buffer_object
GL_NV_conditional_render
GL_ARB_map_buffer_range
GL_EXT_texture_integer
GL_ARB_vertex_array_object

GL_ARB_pixel_buffer_object was the last piece of protocol needed to have official support for indirect rendering with all OpenGL 2.1 commands.


• GLX Protocol for the miscellaneous OpenGL 3.0 commands not associated with specific extensions has also been promoted from unofficial to ARB approved status.
• Deprecated display mask related configuration of display devices via NV-CONTROL and nvidia-settings.Display target specifications should be used instead - A display target is one of the display's valid names, with an optional GPU or X screen qualifier.
• Deprecated the following NV-CONTROL attributes:
NV_CTRL_CONNECTED_DISPLAYS
NV_CTRL_ENABLED_DISPLAYS
NV_CTRL_ASSOCIATED_DISPLAYS
NV_CTRL_NOTEBOOK_INTERNAL_LCD
NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_MASTER
NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_SLAVES
NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_MASTERABLE
NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_SLAVEABLE

Also, although NV_CTRL_PROBE_DISPLAYS is still operational, the return value has been deprecated and should not be used.


• Added deprecation warning messages in nvidia-settings when deprecated attributes are used.This also includes display mask usage.

Installation instructions: Once you have downloaded the driver, change to the directory containing the driver package and install the driver by running, as root, tar xzf NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-331.38.tar.gz && cd NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-331.38 & make install

Then, edit your X configuration file so that the NVIDIA X driver will be used; this can normally be done by running nvidia-xconfig

Note that the list of supported GPU products is provided to indicate which GPUs are supported by a particular driver version. Some designs incorporating supported GPUs may not be compatible with the NVIDIA Linux driver: in particular, notebook and all-in-one desktop designs with switchable (hybrid) or Optimus graphics will not work if means to disable the integrated graphics in hardware are not available. Hardware designs will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so please consult with a system's manufacturer to determine whether that particular system is compatible.

See the README for more detailed instructions.
