Are there any known issues with any of these newer versions that would make such an upgrade ill-advised? FWIW, I've been running nvidia-driver version 290.10 since shortly after it was made available on the Nvidia site, and haven't run across any issues that can be directly attributed to the driver, at least, not to the best of my knowledge. As an aside, I've also been wondering for quite a while now why the nvidia-driver port isn't under the x11-drivers category, rather than simply x11. Not awfully important, just curious. :-) -- Conrad J. Sabatier conrads@cox.net
