nvidia-graphics-drivers (280.13-0ubuntu6) oneiric; urgency=low
* Restore slave link to grub-gfxpayload file. This only provide an
empty blacklist file which shows how to blacklist cards if necessary.
This change re-enables a feature available which was disabled in
280.13-0ubuntu4 (LP: #854967).

nvidia-graphics-drivers (280.13-0ubuntu5) oneiric; urgency=low
* Drop /usr/share/grub-gfxpayload-lists/blacklist handling; there's
nothing about binary drivers in particular that requires blacklisting,
we just need recovery mode to not start the console in graphics mode.
LP: #854967.
* Drop the initramfs hook in favor of 'alias nouveau/lbm_nouveau off',
so that initramfs framebuffer handling will still work. LP: #864149.

* debian/rules:
- Make sure that the module alias is always correct and
uses underscores instead of hyphens (LP: #855396).
- Make the grub-gfxpayload file a template and blacklist
all Nvidia cards so that Grub doesn't set a framebuffer
which prevents recovery mode from working (LP: #854967).
- Make it possible to add card ids to the modaliases by
adding ids in debian/additional_card_ids.
* debian/additional_card_ids:
- Add support for card id 0dfc.
* debian/nvidia-$flavour.README.Debian.in:
- Document how to use the additional_card_ids file.

path (LP: #807209).
- Share the same name for grub's blacklist file for all
drivers.
* debian/rules:
- Fix issues with pbuild.
- Do not provide the X abi any longer. Depending on the ABI is
enough.

* debian/nvidia-current.postinst{.in}:
- Make nvidia.icd a slave link.
- Make libOpenCL.so a slave link for both architectures.
* New upstream release:
- Added support for the following GPUs:
o GeForce GT 540
o GeForce GTX 570M
o GeForce GTX 580M
- Fixed memory error and abort reported by glibc when running
the application FieldView from Intelligent Light.
- Fixed an OpenGL driver bug that caused an application crash
when running Altair HyperMesh.
- Fixed a performance problem when switching between stereo
and monoscopic rendering in the application Smoke.
- Fixed poor X driver handling of pixmap out of memory
scenarios.
- Fixed an interrupt handling deficiency that could lead to
performance and stability problems when many NVIDIA GPUs
shared few IRQs.
- Fixed bugs in the VDPAU presentation queue that could cause
GPU errors and hangs when destroying a presentation queue.
This happens when exiting applications, and also when
toggling to and from full-screen mode in Adobe Flash.
- Fixed a GLX bug that could cause the X server to crash when
rendering a display list using GLX indirect rendering.
- Fixed a GLX bug that could cause a hang in applications that
use X server grabs.
- Fixed an X driver bug that caused 16x8 stipple patterns to
be rendered incorrectly.
- Fixed a GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap bug that caused
corruption when texturing from sufficiently small pixmaps
and, in particular, corruption in the GNOME Shell Message
Tray.
- Added unofficial GLX protocol support (i.e. for GLX indirect
rendering) for the following OpenGL extension:
o GL_EXT_vertex_attrib_64bit
- Added GLX protocol support (i.e. for GLX indirect rendering)
for the following OpenGL extensions:
o GL_ARB_half_float_pixel
o GL_EXT_packed_depth_stencil

nvidia-graphics-drivers (275.09.07-0ubuntu3) oneiric; urgency=low
* Use an empty ld.so.conf when installing alternative for the
non-native arch, otherwise it would be impossible to switch
to mesa without installing mesa for the same architecture.

nvidia-graphics-drivers (275.09.07-0ubuntu2) oneiric; urgency=low
* debian/rules, debian/nvidia-current.prerm{.in},
debian/nvidia-current.postinst{.in}:
- Add initial support for multi-arch (LP: #798049).

- Fixed a bug that caused desktop corruption in GNOME 3 after a
VT-switch or suspend/resume cycle.
- Fixed a bug that caused freezes and crashes when resizing
windows in KDE 4 with desktop effects enabled using X.Org X
server version 1.10 or later.
- Modified the X driver to request that hardware inform the
audio driver whenever a display is disabled. This will allow
the audio driver to generate the appropriate jack unplug
events to applications.
- Added support for the GL_EXT_x11_sync_object extension. See
the extension specification in the OpenGL registry here:
http://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/EXT/x11_sync_object.txt
for more details.
- Improved performance of window resize operations in KDE 4 on
systems with slow CPUs.
- Added support for hardware button based pairing to NVIDIA 3D
Vision Pro. Single click button on the hub to enter into a
pairing mode which pairs one pair of glasses at a time. Double
click the same button on the hub to enter into a pairing mode
which pairs multiple pairs of glasses at a time.
- Added unofficial GLX protocol support (i.e., for GLX indirect
rendering) for the following OpenGL extensions:
o GL_NV_framebuffer_multisample_coverage
o GL_NV_texture_barrier
- Added GLX protocol support (i.e., for GLX indirect rendering)
for the following OpenGL extension:
GL_NV_register_combiners2
- Fixed a bug that caused the pop-out and external DVI displays
to go blank on Lenovo ThinkPad W701 laptops.
- Fixed a bug that caused corruption on the menus in OpenOffice.
org when the screen is rotated.
- Improved performance of certain memory allocations.
- Fixed a bug that caused Java2D widgets to disappear when Java
is configured to render using FBOs.
- Added a new X configuration option "BaseMosaic" which can be
used to extend a single X screen transparently across all of
the available display outputs on each GPU. See "Appendix B.
X Config Options" in the README for more information.

nvidia-graphics-drivers (270.41.19-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
- Fixed a bug in the VDPAU presentation queue that could cause 1
second hangs when transitioning from blit-based display to
overlay-based display. This would most commonly happen when
disabling a compositing manager.
- Fixed a bug that could cause crashes when capturing SDI video.
- Fixed a corner-case in which the OpenGL driver could leak
resources in applications utilizing fork().
- Addressed a Linux kernel interface compatibility problem that
could lead to ioremap() errors and, potentially, functional
and/or stability problems.
- Fixed a bug that caused SLI initialization to fail on some
Intel based systems.
- Fixed a bug that caused SLI initialization to fail when using
recent Linux kernels, such as 2.6.38.
