Nvidia introduces 260 Family of drivers

As if the 256 ones aren't bad enough.

http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-disp ... river.html:
Stopped packaging and installing OpenGL, VDPAU, CUDA, and OpenCL header files with the driver. Those interested in these files can get them from their Linux distributions' packages, where available, or upstream from:

OpenGL header files (gl.h, glext.h glx.h, glxext.h):
http://www.opengl.org/registry/

VDPAU header files (vdpau.h and vdpau_x11.h):
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/VDPAU

CUDA and OpenCL header files (cuda.h, cudaGL.h, cudaVDPAU.h,
cl.h, cl_gl.h, cl_platform.h):
http://developer.nvidia.com/object/gpucomputing.html


Note that while libvdpau.so is still included in 260.xx drivers, it will be removed from a future release series in early 2011. Distributors are encouraged to package libvdpau.so from http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/VDPAU

I just modded myself LOL - this did not belong in audio/video - it's Linux News.

Watch it, Moderator.
