Changelog
nvidia-graphics-drivers (340.46-1) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Vincent Cheng ]
* New upstream long lived branch release 340.46 (2014-09-30).
- Fixed an OpenGL issue that could cause glReadPixels() operations to
be improperly clipped when resizing composited application windows,
potentially leading to momentary X freezes.
- Fixed a bug that could prevent the GLSL compiler from correctly
evaluating some expressions when compiling shaders.
- Added option UseSysmemPixmapAccel to control the use of GPU acceleration
for X drawing operations on pixmaps allocated in system memory.
* New upstream release 331 series.
- Fixed a bug that could prevent 32-bit GPU-based applications from
running correctly on 64-bit systems when using GPUs with very
large memory-mapped I/O regions.
- Fixed a bug that could cause poor system performance and hangs when
running large compute workloads on IOMMU-enabled systems.
- Fixed a bug that could cause a system crash when two or more
processes try to load the nvidia-uvm driver.
* Unload uvm module when nvidia is unloaded. (Closes: #749018)
* conftest.h: Tighten conftest.h check for drm/drmP.h.
* conftest.h: Implement new conftest.sh functions sg_table, sg_alloc_table
(340.46).
[ Andreas Beckmann ]
* libcuda1: Add Provides: libcuda-6.{0,5}-1{,-i386}.
* nvidia-detect: Legacy driver 173xx won't be available in jessie.
* Merge changes from 304.123 (UNRELEASED).
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.6. No changes needed.
* Update lintian overrides.
* libgl1-nvidia-glx.preinst: Implement hardware check for legacy GPUs that
require the nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver package. Based on the
implementation of the same feature in fglrx-driver (libfglrx.preinst).
- Show debconf question in preinst asking whether to proceed with driver
installation in case GPUs only supported in nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver
are present in the machine. (Having *no* supported hardware installed at
all is *not* an error.)
- The hardware check can be disabled via preseeding to allow unattended
installations/upgrades.
(Closes: #761062)
* Import and adjust the corresponding debconf translations from
fglrx-driver.
[ Beren Minor ]
* Fix DRM support activation in conftest.h. (Closes: #731265)
