Not much has been heard in recent months about the open-source graphics driver for NVIDIA GPUs, properly known as "xf86-video-nv" but usually shortened to just "nv". Recently, however, NVIDIA man Aaron Plattner released version 2.1.14.

Although innovations are few, some of the changes mean that the driver now handles a great many later graphic chips that were previously only supported by the Nouveau driver or the proprietary NVIDIA driver. These include various GeForce 7950 cards, the GeForce models 285 and 295, and many other graphics cards in the 9000 series.

A week ago, in his blog AMD's John Bridgman announced some progress with work on the open source driver code to give 3D support to the R6xx and R7xx GPU series used with Radeon graphics hardware in the 2000, 3000 and 4000 series.

Chicago residents who hit the new year dragging bottom might want to take the Chicago Park District up on its freebie promotion: two weeks free at any of the 55 fitness centers it operates throughout the city.

From Jan. 2-16, residents can have their way with the computerized treadmills, cross trainers, exercise bikes, free weights and so on. If they decide to stick around and join, the district will toss in a free towel, water bottle and bag. Regular rates range from $40 to $75 for three months, but the promotion involves a discount of a third off for the first three months.

One caveat: It's always a good idea to have a physical before starting a new exercise regimen, especially if you've only been exercising on your TV remote.

The program will be held in the meeting room of the YMCA Tuesday, Jan. 8, at 7 p.m. The program is free and the public is encouraged to attend.
