So, now that its in the wild...I upgraded...and it broke my dual monitor desktop (at work). Seems like gdm/gnome can't see the other monitor. Tried rebuilding a bunch of other things, but didn't help. Reverting to previous (295.71) has things working again. Wonder what people will do for portdowngrade when CVS goes away. OTOH, I upgraded my system at home, and the desktop is still working fine. It says it still supports my graphics card....though. At work I have a Quadro FX 1400 driving a pair of 1600x1200 monitors. At home I have a Quadro FX 1700 driving a pair of 1920x1080 monitors. ----- Original Message ----- > On Wed, Sep 19, 2012 at 11:55 AM, Alexey Dokuchaev <danfe@nsu.ru> > wrote: > > As many of you had probably noticed, recently folks at NVidia > > decided that > > long-cooked three-hundred branch is stable enough to declare it > > Long Lived > > Branch.
