紧接着上月发布的 180.35 版本，NVIDIA 在今天针对 Linux 平台放出了 180.37 显卡驱动。总的来说，这是一个 bug 修订版本，其中主要修正了几个与 OpenGL 相关的问题，同时对 VDPAU 也有所更新。

以下为 NVIDIA 180.37 的 Release Highlights：

*  Fixed a problem that caused signals to be blocked in some applications.
* Fixed a problem that could cause Xid errors and display corruption incertain cases when OpenGL is used to render to redirected windows, forexample when Java2D is used with the -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true option.
* glGetStringi(GL_EXTENSIONS, i) no longer returns NULL in OpenGL 3.0 preview contexts.
* Fixed a problem that caused the screen to flicker momentarily whenOpenGL applications exit unexpectedly on GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs.
* Fixed an X server crash when an X client attempts to draw trapezoids and RenderAccel is disabled.
* Improved recovery from certain types of errors.
* VDPAU updates:
o Fixed corruption on some H.264 clips.
o Update documentation.
o Fixed VC-1 decoding on 64-bit platforms.
o Improved handling of invalid H.264 streams.
o Fixed a problem that caused surfaces to be marked as visible too early when the blit presentation queue is in use.

该显卡驱动支持 Linux x86 及 x86_64 架构，可从 NVIDIA 的 FTP 站点（x86_64）下载。
