NVIDIA GTS 360M

X support on the GTS 360M is, at this time, an ongoing endeavor.

nvidia proprietary drivers

The 195.36.08 beta drivers introduced support for the GTS 360M, according to the 2010-03-04 changelog. These drivers were, however, pulled by nvidia:

We believe recent NVIDIA UNIX graphics drivers are affected by a recently reported fan speed issue in 195.36.08 and 195.36.03. Until the problem is resolved, we recommend that UNIX users revert to the 190.53 web release, or the 195.30 public beta.

X starts, but is not yet usable. CUDA is fully supported. The framebuffer console is usable, but low resolution by default.

nouveau drivers

Using the nouveau 2.6 tree (booting as 2.6.32 and change) and the 0.0.16 userspace, X starts, but is not yet usable. The framebuffer console (nouveaufb as supplied by the nouveau driver itself) is high resolution by default.
