dkms-nvidia173?
« on: January 31, 2013, 04:27:08 PM »
Is dkms-nvidia173 version 173.14.36-1pclos2012 still being tested?

As some may recall, this package crashed my video.  I'm still using version 173.14.31-1pclos2012.  Maybe I should just pin.

Toonfully,

Mark

nvidia173.14.36-2 has been submitted which fixes that problem.  It's not in the repo yet but will be soon.

Thaks, Terry.  In the meantime, I decided to pin. Neat process and very easy to do.:)

This way, i won't forget myself and accidentally update to the version that messed up my system.:)
