Changelog
nvidia-graphics-drivers (352.21-1) experimental; urgency=medium
[ Vincent Cheng ]
* New upstream release 352.21 (2015-06-15). (Closes: #793079)
- Fixed a bug that caused the kernel to report errors when unmapping
DMA allocations on kernels with CONFIG_DEBUG_DMA_API enabled.
- Added GLX Protocol support for the following OpenGL extensions:
GL_ARB_copy_buffer
GL_ARB_texture_buffer_object
- Fixed a bug that caused a kernel crash if SLI Mosaic and G-SYNC were used
at the same time on a configuration with more display devices connected to
one GPU than another.
* New upstream release 352.09 (2015-05-18).
- Added the ability to configure the swapping behavior for quad-buffered
stereo visuals. The driver can be configured to independently swap
each eye as it becomes ready, to wait for both eyes to complete
rendering before swapping, or to allow applications to specify which
of these two behaviors is preferred by setting the swap interval.
This setting can be adjusted in the nvidia-settings control panel, or
via the NV-CONTROL API.
- Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented OpenGL sampler objects from
being properly deallocated when destroying OpenGL contexts.
- Fixed a bug that caused GLX_EXT_framebuffer_sRGB to incorrectly report
sRGB support in 30 bit-per-pixel framebuffer configurations.
- Added support for G-SYNC with sync-to-vblank disabled. This allows
applications to use G-SYNC to eliminate tearing for frame rates below the
monitor's maximum refresh rate but allow tearing above the maximum refresh
rate in order to minimize latency.
When G-SYNC is active and sync-to-vblank is enabled, the frame rate is
limited to the monitor's maximum refresh rate.
- GLSL gl_Fog.scale is now +infinity when gl_Fog.end equals gl_Fog.start.
Previously, the value 0 was used, but this broke certain
applications such as the game XIII running on Wine (Wine bug #37068).
- Enabled G-SYNC by default when Unified Back Buffer (UBB) is disabled.
- Updated the NVIDIA GPU driver to avoid using video memory already
in use by vesafb.
* New upstream release 349.12 (2015-03-25).
- Added support for G-SYNC monitors when used together with non-G-SYNC
monitors. When G-SYNC is enabled, non-G-SYNC monitors will display with
tearing.
- Removed the "EnableACPIHotkeys" X configuration option. This option
has been deprecated and disabled by default since driver version 346.35.
On modern Linux systems, display change hotkey events are delivered to
the desktop environment as key press events, and the desktop environment
handles the display change by issuing requests through the X Resize and
Rotate extension (RandR).
- Added support for lossless H.264/AVC video streams to VDPAU.
- Added support for VDPAU Feature Set F to the NVIDIA VDPAU driver.
GPUs with VDPAU Feature Set F are capable of hardware-accelerated
decoding of H.265/HEVC video streams.
- Added support for the X.Org X server's "-background none" option. When
enabled, the NVIDIA driver will try to copy the framebuffer console's
contents out of /dev/fb0. If that cannot be done, then the screen is
cleared to black.
- Added support for YUV 4:2:0 compression to enable HDMI 2.0 4K@60Hz modes
when either the display or GPU is incapable of driving these modes in
RGB 4:4:4. See NoEdidHDMI2Check in the README for details.
- Fixed a bug that could cause multi-threaded applications to crash when
multiple threads used the EGL driver at the same time.
- Fixed a bug that caused Sync to VBlank to not work correctly with XVideo
applications in certain configurations.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the X driver from correctly interpreting
some X configuration options when a display device name was given
with a GPU UUID qualifier.
* Fix unresolved nvUvm* symbols in nvidia-uvm.ko from dkms package; patch
cherrypicked from SteamOS and added as debian/patches/uvm-symvers.patch.
Thanks! (Closes: #789483)
* nvidia-detect: Detect stretch as supported suite, and parse -h as --help.
(Closes: #792801)
* Various updates to the packaging provided by Luca Boccassi. Thanks!
- Update nv-readme.ids.
- pci.ids and monitoring.conf are no longer shipped by Nvidia.
- conftest.h: Implement new conftest.sh functions phys_to_dma, get_dma_ops,
dma_ops, noncoherent_swiotlb_dma_ops, backing_dev_info.
- Update symbols control files.
- Refresh patches.
[ Andreas Beckmann ]
* New upstream release 346.82 (2015-06-23).
- Added support for the following GPUs: Tesla K40t, GeForce 720A,
GeForce 920A, GeForce 930A, GeForce 940A, GeForce GTX 950A,
GeForce GTX 980 Ti.
* New upstream release 340 series.
- Fixed a bug that could cause an Xid error when terminating a video
playback application using the overlay presentation queue in VDPAU.
* Update nv-readme.ids.
