Changelog
nvidia-graphics-drivers (331.38-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New upstream long lived branch release 331.38 (2014-01-13).
- Fixed a bug that caused the X server to crash if video memory is
exhausted and the GPU does not support rendering to system memory.
- Improved the robustness of the NVIDIA X driver in scenarios where
GPU-accessible memory for allocating pixmaps was exhausted.
- Added NV-CONTROL attributes to control the brightness of the illuminated
logos on certain graphics boards. For example, to turn off the
illumination of the "GEFORCE GTX" lettering on the GeForce GTX 780, use
nvidia-settings --assign GPULogoBrightness=0
- Fixed a bug that prevented screen transformations from being
applied properly when starting X.
- GLX protocol for the following OpenGL extensions from
OpenGL 2.1 and OpenGL 3.0 have been promoted from
unofficial to ARB approved official status:
GL_ARB_pixel_buffer_object, GL_NV_conditional_render,
GL_ARB_map_buffer_range, GL_EXT_texture_integer,
GL_ARB_vertex_array_object.
GL_ARB_pixel_buffer_object was the last piece of protocol
needed to have official support for indirect rendering with
all OpenGL 2.1 commands.
- GLX Protocol for the miscellaneous OpenGL 3.0 commands not
associated with specific extensions has also been promoted from
unofficial to ARB approved status.
- Deprecated display mask related configuration of display devices via
NV-CONTROL and nvidia-settings. Display target specifications should
be used instead - A display target is one of the display's valid names,
with an optional GPU or X screen qualifier.
- Deprecated the following NV-CONTROL attributes:
NV_CTRL_CONNECTED_DISPLAYS, NV_CTRL_ENABLED_DISPLAYS,
NV_CTRL_ASSOCIATED_DISPLAYS, NV_CTRL_NOTEBOOK_INTERNAL_LCD,
NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_MASTER, NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_SLAVES,
NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_MASTERABLE, NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_SLAVEABLE.
Also, although NV_CTRL_PROBE_DISPLAYS is still operational, the return
value has been deprecated and should not be used.
* Fixed signal mask corruption. (Closes: #728743)
* conftest.h: Implement new conftest.sh functions kbasename,
fatal_signal_pending (331.38).
* Merge changes from 319.82-1.
* Add xorg-video-abi-15 as alternative dependency. (Closes: #732118)
* Update symbols control files.
