Hi all,

I've just released the latest nvidia drivers (version 310.19) to the 
testing repositories.

I just wanted to note that this latest release drops support for older 
6xxx and 7xxx series cards.

These older cards are now only supported in the legacy 304.xx driver 
series. I've just promoted the latest 304.64 driver release to the main 
elrepo repository.

As my test box has an nvidia 7600GS card I am no longer able to test our 
nvidia releases as we release them. To this end, we are either seeking 
testers for these packages or a hardware donation of a supported nvidia 
based card (8xxx or above).

If you have older 6xxx or 7xxx based hardware, do not attempt to update 
past version 304.xx. If there are subsequent releases to the 304.xx 
legacy branch then we can consider renaming these releases to 
nvidia-304xx in line with that of the other 96xx and 173xx legacy releases.

Regards,

Phil
