Package "nvidia-current"
| 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

nvidia-graphics-drivers (304.84-0ubuntu1~precise~xup1) precise; 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.

nvidia-graphics-drivers (304.64-0ubuntu1~precise~xup1) precise; 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.

.
* 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.
