1728547 SRU: Add support for keeping the dGPU on in power saving mode

Version: 1:0.4.17.4 2017-11-16 23:06:52 UTC

  ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.4.17.4) xenial-proposed; urgency=medium

  [ Alberto Milone ]
  * gpu-manager.{c|py}:
    - Add support for forcing the dGPU on on hybrid systems.
      Creating an empty file named "force-dgpu-on"
      in the /usr/share/gpu-manager.d directory will force the dGPU
      on in power saving mode (LP: #1728547).
    - Sync amdgpu-pro support from 17.10.

  [ Kai-Heng Feng ]
  * debian/control:
    - Add build dependency on libkmod-dev.
  * gpu-manager.c:
    - Detect and handle switchable graphics with the amdgpu-pro driver.
      AMDGPU-Pro has its own script to switch between powersaving and
      performance mode (LP: #1731873).
      Some machines allow enabling switchable graphics, or disabling
      the iGPU completely, thus leaving only the dGPU on. This new code
      simply detects the different profiles supported by AMD, and
      enables powersaving mode when possible.

Version: 1:0.4.17.3 2017-06-21 18:06:46 UTC

  ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.4.17.3) xenial-proposed; urgency=medium

  * gpu-manager.{c|py}:
    - Add support for using custom xorg.confs with the nvidia
      driver (LP: #1667198).
      Custom xorg files can be named "non-hybrid" (for non hybrid
      systems), "hybrid-performance", and "hybrid-power-saving",
      and will have to placed in the /usr/share/gpu-manager.d
      directory.
      The directory can be overridden by passing another directory
      along with the "--custom-xorg-conf-path" parameter.
    - Add tests for the custom xorg.confs code and for amdgpu-pro
      hybrid support.

1667198 gpu-manager should also support using custom xorg.conf files for Nvidia
