nvidia-graphics-drivers (260.19.06-0ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
- Fixed an interaction problem with a change in X server
behavior that caused slow text rendering on X.Org xserver
1.9 (LP: #629910).
- Enhanced VDPAU to support interop with CUDA and OpenGL
when Xinerama is active.
- Fixed a bug in VDPAU that prevented temporal-spatial
de-interlacing from operating when temporal de-interlacing
was not also enabled.
- Added support for configuring the dithering depth used when
driving a flat panel with a GeForce 8 family or Quadro
4600/5600 or newer GPU. See the "Dithering Controls" in the
Flat Panel page in nvidia-settings.
* debian/headers, nvidia-current-dev.install{.in}:
- Put the headers from 256.53 in debian/headers and install
them in nvidia-current-dev as usual. Starting from the 260
series, these headers are no longer distributed with the
Nvidia installer. In Natty we'll package them separately
but for now we'll keep them in nvidia-current-dev.
* debian/dkms/patches/nvidia-2.6.36-ioctl.patch:
- Refresh patch.

[ Alberto Milone ]
* New upstream release:
- Fixed a bug that prevented XvMC from initializing in most
cases.
- Added support for xorg-server video driver ABI version 8,
which will be included in the xorg-server-1.9 series of
releases (LP: #616023).
- Fixed a bug that caused extremely slow rendering of OpenGL
applications on X screens other than screen 0 when using a
compositing manager.
- Fixed a regression introduced after 256.35 that caused
stability problems on GPUs such as GeForce GT 240.
- Fixed a slow kernel virtual address space leak observed
when starting and stopping OpenGL, CUDA, or VDPAU
applications.
- Fixed a bug that left the system susceptible to hangs
when running two or more VDPAU applications simultaneously.

* debian/dkms/patches/nvidia-2.6.36-ioctl.patch:
- Add patch from nvnews to add compatibility with kernel
2.6.36.

nvidia-graphics-drivers (256.44-0ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low
* debian/rules:
- Switch to new xsfbs variables to get the xserver ABI
(LP: #616214).
* debian/nvidia-current.dirs.in:
- Remove duplicate line.
* New upstream release:
- Added Support for GeForce GTX 460.
- Added Support for Quadro 4000, Quadro 5000, and Quadro 6000.
- Fixed VDPAU to not print a debug error message when calling
VdpVideoMixerQueryFeatureSupport with an unsupported or
unknown VdpVideoMixerFeature.
- Removed the requirement that in TwinView passive stereo,
MetaModes must have identical viewports on each monitor.
- Removed the requirement that in active stereo, all monitors
must use identical modetimings.
- Enhanced VDPAU to better report certain kinds of
initialization error.
- Fixed a regression that caused Xv to return BadAlloc errors
on AGP systems when using the AGP GART driver contained in
the NVIDIA driver.This fixes the problem reported in
nvnews.net thread 151199.
* This release still doesn't report to be compatible with the
new xserver ABI but works fine if the ignoreABI option is
set in xorg.conf.

nvidia-graphics-drivers (256.35-0ubuntu2) maverick; urgency=low
* debian/nvidia-current-dev*, debian/control.in:
- Revert my previous changes which involved adding conflicts
with other dev packages and installing the headers directly
in /usr/include (LP: #600397).

[ Alberto Milone ]
* debian/nvidia-current-dev*:
- Make the dev package conflict with other dev packages which
provide nvidia-dev so as to make it possible to install
headers directly in /usr/include.
* Adapt the packaging scripts to the new NVIDIA installers.
* New upstream release:
- Fixed a 3D Vision Stereo bug that caused the stereo glasses
to not toggle when the flat panel was not running at its
native mode timings.
- Fixed a bug which prevented use of high performance PowerMizer
levels on systems with certain ACPI configurations.
- Fixed a bug that caused non-primary Fermi GPUs to fail to
initialize framebuffer memory. This caused a variety of
symptoms, up to and including system hangs.
- Added unofficial GLX protocol support (i.e., for GLX indirect
rendering) for the following OpenGL extensions:
o GL_ARB_blend_func_extended
o GL_ARB_draw_buffers_blend
o GL_ARB_sample_shading
o GL_ARB_timer_query
o GL_EXT_draw_buffers2
o GL_EXT_separate_shader_objects
o GL_NV_explicit_multisample
o GL_NV_transform_feedback
- Fixed an interaction problem between Compiz and
'screen-scraping' VNC servers like x11vnc and vino that
caused the screen to stop updating (LP: #353126).
- Enhanced VDPAU to add basic support for Xinerama. VDPAU will
now operate on a single physical X screen under Xinerama.
See the README for more details.
- Enhanced VDPAU's handling of corrupt clips of all formats
on GPUs with VDPAU feature set C to be at least as good as
on GPUs with VDPAU feature set B. This significantly
improves various clips provided by nvnews.net user eamiller.
- Fixed a bug in Xv attribute handling that caused hue,
saturation, brightness and contrast values to be misapplied
when using an Xv overlay adaptor.
- Fixed a bug in the XvMC driver that prevented it from
working on systems with AGP graphics cards.
- Enhanced VDPAU to clear all VdpVideoSurfaces to black when
allocated. This provides more consistent results when using
a surface as a reference when no prior decode operation has
written to that surface. In turn, this improves the results
of decoding some corrupt streams, such as "p_only_no_play"
from ffmpeg bug 1124.
- Implemented new APIs to allow sharing VDPAU surfaces with
OpenGL andCUDA. The OpenGL extension is GL_NV_vdpau_interop.
For CUDA, please see the documentation in the CUDA toolkit
for details.
- Worked around a bug where the combination of a GPU with
VDPAU feature set A together with specific motherboard
chipsets could cause visible corruption when decoding some
MPEG-2 streams.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the VDPAU overlay-based
presentation queue from being used more than a few hundred
times per X server invocation.
- Renamed the driver file libGLcore.so.VERSION to
libnvidia-glcore.so.VERSION, as a small step towards
reducing the filename collisions between NVIDIA's and
MESA's OpenGL implementations.This driver file is used by
NVIDIA's libGL.so and libglx.so, and should never be used
directly by applications.
- Changed the SONAME of libnvidia-glcore.so.VERSION,
libnvidia-tls.so.VERSION, and libnvidia-compiler.so.VERSION
to be ".so.VERSION", rather than ".so.1". These driver files
are only used by other NVIDIA driver components, and are
only intended to be usedby components of the matching NVIDIA
driver version.
- Removed the "-pkg#" suffix from the NVIDIA Linux .run files.
The packages are now simply named "NVIDIA-Linux-ARCH-VERSION.run".
On Linux-x86_64, a package which omits the 32-bit compatibility
libraries is also available:
"NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-VERSION-no-compat32.run"
- Compressed the nvidia-settings, nvidia-installer and
nvidia-xconfig tarballs with bzip2, rather than gzip.

* debian/nvidia_supported:
- nVidia changed the driver blob so that the old heuristic for finding the
symbol with the PCI ID list failed. Implement a new heuristic by finding
the symbol that matches the ID list in README closely enough. (README is
missing a great number of IDs, which is why we need to grab the list
from the blob in the first place).

* debian/nvidia-$flavour.{dirs|postinst}.in, rules:
- Install the blacklist file in /lib/nvidia-$flavour instead
of /usr/lib/nvidia-$flavour so that the file is available
early in the boot process when /usr is on a different
partition (LP: #538071).
- Ignore errors when trying to update the initramfs
with -k $CURRENT_KERNEL which is known to fail when
using chroots (LP: #556653).
