Package "nvidia-current"

This package belongs to a PPA: Ubuntu-x-swat

Name: nvidia-current

Description:

NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library
The binary driver provide optimized hardware acceleration of OpenGL
applications via a direct-rendering X Server. AGP, PCIe, SLI, TV-out
and flat panel displays are also supported.

This package also includes the source for building the kernel module
required by the Xorg driver, and provides NVIDIA's implementation of
the Video Decode and presentation API. The latter enables acceleration
for GeForce 8 and later series cards for h264 video.

GPUs such as GeForce series 6 or newer are supported.

See /usr/share/doc/nvidia-current/README.txt.gz for a complete list
of supported GPUs and PCIIDs

Change Log

Version: 304.84-0ubuntu1~natty~xup1 2013-03-07 05:08:27 UTC

 nvidia-graphics-drivers (304.84-0ubuntu1~natty~xup1) natty; urgency=low
 .
   * Fixed a bug that could lead to rendering corruption after an X server
     generation (i.e., leaving an X server running after all of its clients
     have exited).
   * Removed a spurious dependency on libpangox from the nvidia-settings
     binary shipped as part of the driver package.
   * Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to crash when performing an
     RandR 1.0 rotation (e.g., `xrandr --orientation left`) after unplugging
     the last connected monitor.
   * Fixed a bug that caused the nvidia-xconfig(1) man page to be blank.
   * Added support for X.org xserver ABI 14 (xorg-server 1.14).
   * Fixed font rendering performance and corruption problems on X servers
     with backported support for the new glyph cache functionality added
     to Pixman 0.27.
   * Fixed a potential X server crash during initialization, when a graphics
     card with a TV connector has no TV connected.
   * Added a new X configuration option, "UseHotplugEvents", to allow the
     suppression of RandR events when adding or removing non-DisplayPort
     displays. See the "X Config Options" appendix of the README for details.

Version: 304.64-0ubuntu1~natty~xup1 2012-11-07 04:08:29 UTC

 nvidia-graphics-drivers (304.64-0ubuntu1~natty~xup1) natty; urgency=low
 .
   * Added support for the following GPUs:
      VGX K1
      VGX K2
   * Added a missing 32-bit compatibility library for libnvidia-opencl.so to
     the 64-bit Linux installer package.
   * Fixed a regression in backlight control functionality on some notebook
     configurations.
   * Fixed a performance issue with recent Linux kernels when allocating and
     freeing system memory.
   * Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented the display device / X screen
     selection menu from being displayed in nvidia-settings.
   * Fixed a bug that prevented X driver gamma manipulation from working after
     a VT-switch on some configurations.
   * Added the option "--output-file" to nvidia-bug-report.sh to allow
     specifying a custom filename for the log file.
   * Fixed a hang when using OpenGL programs with some SLI Mosaic configurations
     on pre-Fermi GPUs.
   * Added sections to the "Supported NVIDIA GPU Products" list for NVS, Tesla,
     and VGX products.

Version: 304.60-0ubuntu1~natty~xup1 2012-10-18 21:08:32 UTC

 nvidia-graphics-drivers (304.60-0ubuntu1~natty~xup1) natty; urgency=low
 .
   * Fixed a bug that caused the X server to crash if a display was put into DPMS off mode
     and subsequently reenabled while screen transformations are in use.
   * Fixed a bug that caused the X Resize and Rotate extension to be enabled when Xinerama is
     enabled. These two X extensions are incompatible and having them both enabled can confuse
     window managers such as KDE's kwin. RandR is now correctly disabled when Xinerama is enabled.
   * Fixed a bug causing OpenGL stereo applications to not work properly when using
     passive stereo modes 5 through 9 on Quadro Fermi and newer GPUs.
   * Updated nvidia-settings to report Dedicated GPU Memory (i.e., the memory dedicated
     exclusively to the GPU) and Total GPU Memory (i.e., Dedicated GPU Memory plus any
     TurboCache(TM)-accessible system memory) separately on the GPU information page.
   * Added reporting of the current utilization of Dedicated GPU Memory to the GPU
     information page of nvidia-settings.
   * Added support for the "Backlight" RandR output property for configuring the
     brightness of some notebook internal panels.
   * Fixed a bug that prevented the Ubuntu Unity launcher panel from unhiding:
     https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1057000
   * Fixed a bug that caused nvidia-installer to sometimes attempt to write a log
     file in a nonexistent directory.
   * Fixed a bug that caused incorrect input transformation after resizing an NVIDIA X
     screen with xserver ABI 12 (xorg-server 1.12) or newer.
   * Fixed a bug that caused GLX to leak memory when Xinerama is enabled.

Version: 304.51-0ubuntu1~natty~xup1 2012-09-25 05:08:32 UTC

 nvidia-graphics-drivers (304.51-0ubuntu1~natty~xup1) natty; urgency=low
 .
   * Added support for the new Quadro Sync board for Quadro Kepler GPUs. See the
     "Configuring Frame Lock and Genlock" chapter in the README for details.
   * Fixed an X server crash on X.Org xserver 1.13 when it is compiled without support
     for DRI2.
   * Fixed a regression that broke color controls on older X servers.
   * Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the display layout area of the nvidia-settings control
     panel to be laid out incorrectly.
   * Fixed a bug that prevented panning from working correctly after a modeswitch on some
     X servers with support for cursor constraining.
   * Gamma ramp and colormap adjustments now apply correctly when screen transformations such
     as rotation and keystone correction are in use.
   * Fixed RandR per-CRTC gamma persistence across modeswitches and VT-switches.
   * Fixed a bug that caused the X server to sometimes hang in response to input events.
   * Fixed a reduction in rendering performance for core X11 rendering on certain GPUs that
     occurred in the 290.series of releases.
   * Fixed a bug that prevented PowerMizer from working correctly on some boards with
     GDDR5 memory, such as some GeForce GT 240 SKUs.
   * Fixed a bug that caused OpenGL applications to not animate properly when a rotation or a transformation was applied on some older X server versions.
   * Enabled FXAA with Unified Back Buffers.
   * Fixed a bug that prevented the "Reset Hardware Defaults" button in the Display
     Settings page of nvidia-settings from being activated.

Version: 304.43-0ubuntu1~natty~xup1 2012-08-28 03:08:33 UTC

 nvidia-graphics-drivers (304.43-0ubuntu1~natty~xup1) natty; urgency=low
 .
   * Added support for the following GPUs:
      GeForce GTX 660 Ti
      Quadro K5000
      Quadro K5000M
      Quadro K4000M
      Quadro K3000M
      NVS 510
   * Fixed a bug that caused pre-release versions of X.Org xserver 1.13 to crash
     when certain GLX operations were performed, such as when starting Firefox.
   * Fixed a bug that caused VDPAU to hang when expanding the YouTube Flash Player.
   * Fixed a bug that caused gnome-settings-daemon to revert display configuration
     changes made by nvidia-settings.
   * Updated nvidia-settings to use RandR per-CRTC gamma control, when available. When controlling an X server with support for RandR 1.2, nvidia-settings will display the color correction widget as a tab within each display
     device page, instead of a per-X screen color correction page.
   * Fixed a bug that prevented the display palette from being updated immediately
     after an application called XStoreColors.
   * Added the ability to select and move X screens in the "X Server Display Configuration"
     page of nvidia-settings via Ctrl-(Left)Click + Drag.
