Bug 13450

Gimme a couple days on this. I want to make sure it works with VirtualBox.
I'm rerunning some testing. I only have a 64-bit platform. No 32-bit hardware
with an nvidia frame buffer.

System boots to a working desktop using nvidia driver. VirtualBox opens a
client ( M4.1 Live-CD KDE ) and uses the correct screen sizing.

System boots to a working desktop using nvidia driver. VirtualBox opens a

Test platform:
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz
GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3-B3 LGA 1155 MoBo
GIGABYTE GV-N440D3-1GI Nvidia GeForce GT 440 (Fermi) 1GB
RTL8111/8168B PCI Express 1Gbit Ethernet
DRAM 16GB (4 x 4GB)

I'm comfortable that I can update my 64-bit system,
w/Vbox with the new nvidia driver.

Tested mga4-64,

Tested on real hardware, but with bumblebee support.

Testing complete for new x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-331.79-1.mga4, Ok for me
nothing to report, seems work correctly here.

I'm comfortable that I can update this 32-bit install on a 64-bit system,
w/Vbox with the new nvidia driver. I'm gonna let Thomas have the last
word on this one.

Thanks all. Validating - testing completed by package updates and with Mageia 4.1 ISOs.

Advisory uploaded.

Could sysadmin please push to 4 updates with the new kernel (bug 13449)

Thanks
