 nvidia-graphics-drivers (304.51-0ubuntu1~precise~xup1) precise; 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.

Version: 304.43-0ubuntu1~precise~xup1 2012-08-28 03:08:34 UTC

 nvidia-graphics-drivers (304.43-0ubuntu1~precise~xup1) precise; 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.

Version: 304.37-0ubuntu1~precise~xup1 2012-08-19 23:08:45 UTC

 nvidia-graphics-drivers (304.37-0ubuntu1~precise~xup1) precise; urgency=low
 .
   * Added support for the following GPUs:
      GeForce GTX 680M
      Quadro K1000M
      Quadro K2000M
      Tesla K10
   * Removed the ability to enable SLI on GPUs with ECC enabled.
   * Fixed several bugs that prevented some RandR transform geometries from
     being applied.
   * Fixed a bug that caused frequent hangs or crashes on some systems.
   * Fixed a bug that would cause corruption and performance issues in
     certain OpenGL applications such as Amnesia: The Dark Descent on
     GeForce 6 and 7 GPUs.
   * Fixed a bug that caused applications that use DirectColor visuals,
     such as Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and Braid, to appear in shades of blue
     instead of the correct colors.
   * Modified handling of RRSetScreenSize requests to ignore requests that do not actually resize the screen.This reduces screen flicker in certain
     cases when using GNOME.
   * Added a new option, "--disable-nouveau" to nvidia-installer. This option changes the action that is chosen by default when Nouveauis detected by nvidia-installer. If the "--disable-nouveau" optionis set, then the default will be to attempt to disable Nouveau when it is detected; otherwise,
     no attempt will be made unless requested.
   * Added support for xserver ABI 13 (xorg-server 1.13).
   * Added support for RandR per-CRTC gamma manipulation through the RandR 1.2
     RRGetCrtcGammaSize, RRGetCrtcGamma, and RRSetCrtcGamma requests.
   * Fixed a bug that caused RRSetOutputPrimary requests to incorrectly generate BadValue errors when setting the primary output to None.This caused gnome-settings-daemon to crash after changing the screen configuration in response to a display hotplug or the display change hot-key being pressed.
   * Fixed a problem where RENDER Glyphs operations would exhibit severe performance
     issues in certain cases, such as when used with gradients by Cairo and Chromium.
   * Fixed a bug that caused X to hang when resuming certain DisplayPort display
     devices (such as Apple brand mini-DisplayPort to dual-link DVI adapters)
     from power-saving mode.
   * Fixed a bug that caused an X screen to be extended to Quadro SDI Output devices by default. An X screen will still use an SDI Output device if it is the only display device available. To use a SDI Output device on an X screen with other display devices available, include the SDI Output device with either the "UseDisplayDevice" or "MetaMode" X configuration options.
   * Updated X11 modeline validation such that modes not defined in a display device's EDID are discarded if the EDID 1.3 "GTF Supported" flag is unset or if the EDID 1.4 "Continuous Frequency" flag is unset. The new "AllowNonEdidModes" token for the ModeValidationX configuration option can be used
     to disable this new check.
   * Fixed a bug, introduced in the 295.xx release series, with EDID detection on some laptop internal panels. This bug caused the laptop internal panel
     to show six small copies of the desktop.
   * Added support for FXAA, Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing. Using regular anti-aliasing modes or Unified Back Buffers with FXAA is not currently supported.
   * Enhanced the functionality of the IncludeImplicitMetaModes X configuration option: Implicit MetaModes will be added for the primary display device,
     even if multiple display devices are in use when X is initialized.
     Implicit MetaModes will be added for common resolutions, even
     if there isn't a mode with that resolution in the mode pool of
     the display device.
 .
   * Extended the syntax of the IncludeImplicitMetaModes X
     configuration option, e.g., to control which display device is
     used for creation of implicit MetaModes.
 .
     See the description of the IncludeImplicitMetaModes X configuration
     option in the README for details.
 .
   * Modified the handling of the RandR 1.0/1.1 requests RRGetScreenInfo and RRSetScreenConfig (e.g., `xrandr -q --q1` and `xrandr --size ...` and `xrandr --orientation ...`) such that they operate on MetaModes. This was the behavior in NVIDIA X driver versions 295.xx and earlier, but 302.xx releases altered the handling of these RandR 1.0/1.1 requests to operate
     on a single RandR output's modes.
   * With the above changes to IncludeImplicitMetaModes and RandR 1.0/1.1 handling, fullscreen applications (e.g., SDL-based applications, Wine), should have more resolutions available to them, and should interact better
     with multiple monitor configurations.
   * Fixed a bug that could cause G8x, G9x, and GT2xx GPUs to display a black screen
     or corruption after waking up from suspend.
   * Fixed several bugs that could cause some OpenGL programs to hang when calling fork(3).
   * Fixed an nvidia-settings bug that caused the results of ProbeDisplays queries made with the --display-device-string option to be formatted incorrectly.
   * Improved the responsiveness of updates to the nvidia-settings control
     panel when displays are hotplugged.
   * Fixed a bug that caused display corruption when setting some transforms,
     especially when panning a transformed display.
   * Fixed a bug that caused extra RandR events to be generated the first time
     a display is hotplugged.
   * Fixed a bug that caused X11 modelines with '@' in their names to be rejected.
   * Added support for DisplayPort 1.2 branch devices, which allow multiple
     displays to be connected to a single DisplayPort connector on a graphics board.
   * Fixed a bug that caused most OpenGL texture uploads to be slow when the
     context was bound rendering to an RGB overlay drawable.
   * Fixed a bug that caused audio over HDMI to not work after restarting the X
     server on some MCP7x (IGP) GPUs.
   * Updated the X configuration option "UseDisplayDevice" to honor the value
     "none" on any GPU.
   * Added support for DKMS in nvidia-installer. Installing the kernel modul

Version: 302.17-0ubuntu1~precise~xup1 2012-06-17 23:08:23 UTC

 nvidia-graphics-drivers (302.17-0ubuntu1~precise~xup1) precise; urgency=low
 .
   * Added support for the following GPUs:
      GeForce GT 620M
      GeForce GT 640M
      GeForce GT 640M LE
      GeForce GT 650M
      GeForce GTX 660M
      GeForce GTX 670M
      GeForce GTX 675M
      GeForce GTX 555
      GeForce GTX 560 SE
      GeForce GT 415
      GeForce GTX 460 v2
      NVS 5400M
      NVS 310
      Quadro 410
   * Made nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder consistent with the RRSetOutputPrimary and
     RRGetOutputPrimary RandR requests: changes to either
     nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder or RandR OutputPrimary will be reflected in the
     other.
   * Fixed an interaction problem between RandR 1.2, ConstrainCursor, and
     panning that prevented panning from working properly.
   * Fixed a bug that caused RandR RRNotify_CrtcChange events to not be
     generated when switching between MetaModes with the same total size but
     different layout of display devices. This bug caused some window managers
     to not update their layouts in response to switching same-sized MetaModes.
   * Added support for desktop panning when rotation, reflection, or
     transformation is applied to a display device (either through RandR or
     through the MetaMode syntax); panning would previously be ignored in that
     case.
   * Added an "EDID" property to RandR 1.2 outputs. This property contains the
     binary contents of the connected monitor's extended display identification
     data, which allows applications such as the GNOME display properties dialog
     to query information about it.
   * Fixed a bug that caused audio over HDMI to not work on some GPUs after
     querying the RandR configuration (e.g., `xrandr -q`).
   * Added the "nvidiaXineramaInfo" X configuration option to report the layout
     of multiple display devices within an X screen. This is enabled by default.
     When disabled on X servers with RandR 1.2 support, the NVIDIA X driver
     will report one screen-sized region. When disabled on X servers without
     RandR 1.2 support, no Xinerama information will be reported. For backwards
     compatibility, the "NoTwinViewXineramaInfo" option disables
     nvidiaXineramaInfo.
   * Added the "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder" X configuration option as a replacement
     for "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder". For backwards compatibility,
     "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" is kept as a synonym for
     "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder".
   * Added the "nvidiaXineramaInfoOverride" X configuration option as a
     replacement for "TwinViewXineramaInfoOverride". For backwards
     compatibility, "TwinViewXineramaInfoOverride" is kept as a synonym for
     "nvidiaXineramaInfoOverride".
   * Fixed a bug that prevented the use of some SLI Mosaic topologies.
   * Added the "MetaModeOrientation" X configuration option as a replacement
     for "TwinViewOrientation". "TwinViewOrientation" is kept as a synonym for
     "MetaModeOrientation", for backwards compatibility.
   * Disabled the use of certain OpenGL optimizations with Autodesk Maya and
     Mudbox, due to conflicts between these applications and the optimizations.
     Some performance loss in Autodesk Maya and Mudbox is possible, as a result.
   * Fixed a behavior issue where redundant DPMS state transitions were leading
     to unexpected screen blanking on DisplayPort displays.
