63	* Re-upload the source as the previous release was * Re-upload the source as the previous release was accidentally uploaded as 302.32 instead of 304.32. * debian/dkms/buildfix_kernel_3.6.patch: - Add support for Linux 3.6 * debian/control.in, debian/rules: - Revert switch to debhelper. * nvidia-$flavour.install.in: - Make sure to install dkms.conf after installing the source. This makes sure we override the dkms.conf from upstream.	Alberto Milone	304.32-0ubuntu1	11 years ago
62	* debian/control.in, debian/rules: * debian/control.in, debian/rules: - Switch from cdbs to debhelper. * New upstream release: - Fixed security issue that allowed an exploit to use NVIDIA UNIX device files to map and program registers to redirect the VGA window. Through the VGA window, the exploit could access any region of physical system memory. This arbitrary memory access could then be further exploited, for example, to escalate user privileges (LP: #1033452). - Added support for xserver ABI 13 (xorg-server 1.13). - Fixed a bug that caused RRSetOutputPrimary requests to incorrectly generate BadValue errors when setting the primary output to None. This caused gnome-settings-daemon to crash after changing the screen configuration in response to a display hotplug or the display change hot-key being pressed. - Fixed a problem where RENDER Glyphs operations would exhibit severe performance issues in certain cases, such as when used with gradients by Cairo and Chromium. - Fixed a bug that caused X to hang when resuming certain DisplayPort display devices (such as Apple brand mini-DisplayPort to dual-link DVI adapters) from power-saving mode. - Added support for the following GPU: Tesla K10 - Fixed a bug that caused an X screen to be extended to Quadro SDI Output devices by default. An X screen will still use an SDI Output device if it is the only display device available. To use a SDI Output device on an X screen with other display devices available, include the SDI Output device with either the "UseDisplayDevice" or "MetaMode" X configuration options. - Updated X11 modeline validation such that modes not defined in a display device's EDID are discarded if the EDID 1.3 "GTF Supported" flag is unset or if the EDID 1.4 "Continuous Frequency" flag is unset. The new "AllowNonEdidModes" token for the ModeValidation X configuration option can be used to disable this new check. - Fixed a bug, introduced in the 295.xx release series, with EDID detection on some laptop internal panels. This bug caused the laptop internal panel to show six small copies of the desktop. - Added support for FXAA, Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing.	Alberto Milone	302.32-0ubuntu1	11 years ago
61	Rebuild against the new xserver abi. Rebuild against the new xserver abi.	Timo Aaltonen	302.17-0ubuntu2	11 years ago
60	* debian/control.in: * debian/control.in: - Make sure to recommend nvidia-settings (>= version). * New upstream release: - Added support for the following GPUs: o GeForce GT 620M o GeForce GT 640M o GeForce GT 640M LE o GeForce GT 650M o GeForce GTX 660M o GeForce GTX 670M o GeForce GTX 675M o GeForce GTX 555 o GeForce GTX 560 SE o GeForce GT 415 o GeForce GTX 460 v2 o NVS 5400M o NVS 310 o Quadro 410 - Made nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder consistent with the RRSetOutputPrimary and RRGetOutputPrimary RandR requests: changes to either nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder or RandR OutputPrimary will be reflected in the other. - Fixed an interaction problem between RandR 1.2, ConstrainCursor, and panning that prevented panning from working properly. - Fixed a bug that caused RandR RRNotify_CrtcChange events to not be generated when switching between MetaModes with the same total size but different layout of display devices. This bug caused some window managers to not update their layouts in response to switching same-sized MetaModes. - Added support for desktop panning when rotation, reflection, or transformation is applied to a display device (either through RandR or through the MetaMode syntax); panning would previously be ignored in that case. - Added an "EDID" property to RandR 1.2 outputs. This property contains the binary contents of the connected monitor's extended display identification data, which allows applications such as the GNOME display properties dialog to query information about it. - Fixed a bug that caused audio over HDMI to not work on some GPUs after querying the RandR configuration (e.g., `xrandr -q`). - Added the "nvidiaXineramaInfo" X configuration option to report the layout of multiple display devices within an X screen. This is enabled by default. When disabled on X servers with RandR 1.2 support, the NVIDIA X driver will report one screen-sized region. When disabled on X servers without RandR 1.2 support, no Xinerama information will be reported. For backwards compatibility, the "NoTwinViewXineramaInfo" option disables nvidiaXineramaInfo. - Added the "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder" X configuration option as a replacement for "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder". For backwards compatibility, "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" is kept as a synonym for "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder". - Added the "nvidiaXineramaInfoOverride" X configuration option as a replacement for "TwinViewXineramaInfoOverride". For backwards compatibility, "TwinViewXineramaInfoOverride" is kept as a synonym for "nvidiaXineramaInfoOverride". - Fixed a bug that prevented the use of some SLI Mosaic topologies. - Added the "MetaModeOrientation" X configuration option as a replacement for "TwinViewOrientation". "TwinViewOrientation" is kept as a synonym for "MetaModeOrientation", for backwards compatibility. - Disabled the use of certain OpenGL optimizations with Autodesk Maya and Mudbox, due to conflicts between these applications and the optimizations. Some performance loss in Autodesk Maya and Mudbox is possible, as a result. - Fixed a behavior issue where redundant DPMS state transitions were leading to unexpected screen blanking on DisplayPort displays.	Alberto Milone	302.17-0ubuntu1	11 years ago
59	* New upstream release: * New upstream release: - Added support for the following GPU: o GeForce GTX 670 o GeForce 605 o GeForce GT 610 o GeForce GT 630 o GeForce GT 640 o GeForce GT 645 - Fixed a bug affecting some G-Sync configurations which could cause active stereo content to be inverted on some display devices. - Add support for linux 3.4 (LP: #993506).	Alberto Milone	295.53-0ubuntu1	11 years ago
58	* New upstream release: * New upstream release: - Added support for the following GPU: o GeForce GTX 690 - Fixed a problem where starting, stopping, and moving OpenGL application windows was very slow on Quadro FX 4600, Quadro FX 5600, GeForce 8800 GTX, GeForce 8800 GTS, and GeForce 8800 Ultra (LP: #982710). - Fixed an OpenGL performance regression which affected Geforce 6 and Geforce 7 series integrated GPUs (LP: #982485).	Alberto Milone	295.49-0ubuntu1	11 years ago
57	* New upstream release: * New upstream release: - Added support for the following GPUs: o GeForce GT 635M o GeForce 610M - SECURITY UPDATE: privilege escalation via kernel memory access (LP: #959842). - Fixed a bug that caused DisplayPort devices to occasionally fail to turn back on after the system is resumed from suspend. - Added a ModeValidation X configuration option token, "AllowNon3DVisionModes", to allow modes that are not optimized for NVIDIA 3D Vision to be validated on 3D Vision monitors.	Alberto Milone	295.40-0ubuntu1	12 years ago
56	* New upstream release: * New upstream release: - Added support for the following GPUs: o GeForce GTX 680 o GeForce GT 630M o GeForce GT 620 - Fixed a VDPAU bug where decoding some H.264 streams would cause hardware errors on lower-end products, resulting in corruption and poor performance. - Fixed a bug that caused DisplayPort audio to stop working after monitors are hotplugged on GeForce GT 520. - Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels. - Fixed a behavior change that prevented ConnectedMonitor from being usable with DisplayPort connectors. - Marked the GVO Clone mode NV-CONTROL attributes: NV_CTRL_GVO_DISPLAY_X_SCREEN NV_CTRL_GVO_X_SCREEN_PAN_X NV_CTRL_GVO_X_SCREEN_PAN_Y as deprecated. They will be removed in a future release. To display an X screen over GVO, it is recommended to use GVO with MetaModes, instead. - Fixed a bug that caused DisplayPort devices to not be listed in Xorg..log. - Added support for 3D Vision ready displays that have a NVIDIA 3D Vision infrared emitter built inside the panel itself. - Fixed a bug that caused OpenGL applications to crash with some libc versions, such as eglibc 2.15 (LP: #929384). - Fixed a bug that caused HDMI audio to stop working on AppleTV devices when an X server was started. debian/nvidia-$flavour.postrm{.in}: - Make sure to remove the blacklist for hybrid graphics and to rebuild the initramfs (LP: #958848).	Alberto Milone	295.33-0ubuntu1	12 years ago
55	* New upstream release: * New upstream release: - Added support for the following GPU: o NVS 5200M - Fixed a bug that caused black areas to appear on the back faces of some models in Maya. - Fixed a bug that resulted in the printing of spurious loader error messages. - Fixed a bug that could cause X to crash after hotplugging displays. - Fixed a bug which caused face selections to be misrendered in Maya when using the paint selection tool. - Improved performance for interactive tools in Mudbox. - Added support for deleting SDI audio ancillary data packets when a video frame is dropped on a Quadro SDI Output device. See the NV_CTRL_GVO_AUDIO_BLANKING attribute in NVCtrl.h for details. This option can be set via the GvoAudioBlanking attribute in nvidia-settings. * debian/rules: - Make sure that nouveau is blacklisted even when nvidia is disabled. This is necessary in order to get hybrid graphics to work. * debian/nvidia-$(flavour).postinst{.in}, debian/nvidia-$(flavour).prerm{.in}: - Make use of quirks from nvidia-common.	Alberto Milone	295.20-0ubuntu1	12 years ago
