==Linux support for the 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 [http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/43620 2010-03-04 changelog]. These drivers were, however, pulled by nvidia:<blockquote>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.</blockquote>X starts, but is not yet usable. [[CUDA]] is fully supported. The framebuffer console is usable, but low resolution by default.
===[http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FrontPage 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 (<tt>nouveaufb</tt> as supplied by the nouveau driver itself) is high resolution by default.
