<p>All official stable kernel releases from 3.10 and up are
|
|
supported; pre-release versions, such as 4.19-rc1, are not
|
|
supported. The Linux kernel can be downloaded from <a href=
|
|
"http://www.kernel.org" target="_top">http://www.kernel.org</a> or
|
|
one of its mirrors.</p>
|
|
<p>binutils and gcc can be retrieved from <a href=
|
|
"http://www.gnu.org" target="_top">http://www.gnu.org</a> or one of
|
|
its mirrors.</p>
|
|
<p>Sometimes very recent X server versions are not supported
|
|
immediately following release, but we aim to support all new
|
|
versions as soon as possible. Support is not added for new X server
|
|
versions until after the video driver ABI is frozen, which usually
|
|
happens at the release candidate stage. Prerelease versions that
|
|
are not release candidates, such as "1.10.99.1", are not
|
|
supported.</p>
|
|
<p>If you are setting up the X Window System for the first time, it
|
|
is often easier to begin with one of the open source drivers that
|
|
ships with X.Org (either "vga", "vesa", or "fbdev"). Once your
|
|
system is operating properly with the open source driver, you may
|
|
then switch to the NVIDIA driver.</p>
|
|
<p>These software packages may also be available through your Linux
|
|
distributor.</p>
