Changelog
nvidia-graphics-drivers (290.03-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New upstream beta 290.03 (2011-10-21).
- Fixed a bug that prevented the driver from loading on some systems with
integrated graphics.
- Fixed issues in VDPAU that prevented allocating and displaying extremely
large VdpOutputSurfaces.
- Added support for limiting heap allocations in the OpenGL driver through
the use of the __GL_HEAP_ALLOC_LIMIT environment variable. See the README
for further details.
- Added an "Accel" option to the X driver to allow disabling its use of the
graphics processing hardware. This is useful when other components, such
as CUDA, require exclusive use of the GPU's processing cores.
- Modified how the OpenGL driver allocates executable memory so it may
continue to function properly if /tmp is mounted noexec. As some fallback
allocation methods may be prohibited under SELinux policy, the driver now
supports detection of this policy as well as manual override of this
detection via the __GL_SELINUX_BOOLEANS environment variable.
- Fixed a bug that caused various GLSL built-in uniforms to not
be updated properly when calling glPopAttrib.
- Improved performance by caching compiled OpenGL shaders to disk. Added a
"GLShaderDiskCache" option to the X driver to enable/disable this
feature. Added the __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE and __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH
environment variables for further configuration. See the README for
further details.
* New upstream long-lived branch 275 series (unreleased).
- Added support for the following GPU: GeForce 510.
- Fixed a bug that caused trapezoid and triangle rendering to be very slow
on older GPUs with xorg-server 1.11. (Closes: #642757 and 15 dupes)
* Upload to experimental.
* Update symbols control files.
* Update nv-readme.ids.
* Refresh use-nv-kernel.o.ARCH.patch.
* bug-control: collect information about installed nouveau packages.
