Nvidia has announced the immediate availability for download of the 310.51version of its graphics driver for Linux operating systems.

Nvidia has just released a new certified driver for all supported platforms and it comes with a huge list of fixes and improvements.

Highlights of Nvidia 310.51 Driver:

• A bug where RRGetCrtcInfo could report incorrect size information, when an RandR output has a custom ViewPortIn, has been fixed; • A regression that could cause an X server crash when performing a modeset (e.g. changing resolutions, transformation settings, or display layout) has been fixed; • The resolution drop-down has been augmented in the display configuration page of nvidia-settings; • /usr/lib/modprobe.d has been added to the list of directories where nvidia-installer may optionally install a generated modprobe configuration file.

A complete list of changes and improvements, along with download links, is available in the official announcement.
