How to install the NVIDIA 15.10 driver in Ubuntu 14.04 and 358.16
NVIDIA 358.16 -- the first stable version of the NVIDIA 358 series has been released, and some minor improvements have been made to the 358.09 (Beta) version.
NVIDIA 358 has added a new nvidia-modeset.ko kernel module that can work with the nvidia. ko kernel module to call the GPU Display Engine. In a later release, the nvidia-modeset.ko kernel driver will be used to lay the foundation for the Pattern setting interface provided by the kernel's direct render Manager (DRM.
The new driver also has new GLX Protocol extensions and a new mechanism for allocating a large amount of memory to the system memory in the OpenGL driver. The new GPU GeForce 805A and GeForce GTX 960A are supported. NVIDIA 358.16 also supports X. Org 1.18 servers and OpenGL 4.3.
