PSA for users of "older" Nvidia cards

Staudey

joluveba May I ask the reason? It's just curiosity.

Mainly the mesalib update, kernel update and LSI issue(s)

Abhinav1217 What about DoFlicky, Will it be able to detect that system is using older drivers and configure 4xx drivers on those system, or do we have to do it manually still?

Yes, after this PR is merged and commited to our repository, DoFlicky will detect the correct driver branch for such cards.
But it will not automatically warn or notify you in any way if you're on the wrong driver branch. User intervention is required in any case.

Is the next sync officially postponed until next Friday? I've been checking for a refreshed repository 8 or 10 times a day since last Friday, and I won't continue that if it's simply been postponed a week.

Guys, I use Asus N61 with nVidia GeForce GT220M. I did not install any additional drivers, only your ISO. Should I be worried about this?

P.S. Results:

nvidia-390-glx-driver-modaliases
nvidia-glx-driver-modaliases

Semenov No, obviously you are using the nouveau drivers so you won't be impacted.

This post surely helped me install the correct drivers upon just installing Solus Gnome. I've a Kepler card -- the GT 720, and I need to use the latest 470.xxx driver. For some reason, when I used the distro's tool to install my driver, it read "390.xxx" for some reason.

D-Smithee There are still a few things to be adjusted here and there, for the detection to work right from the start (mainly an update to doflicky aka "Hardware Drivers")

Staudey That would be most welcome. When I first tried Solus a few months ago, it was Budgie and it did read the correct driver.
