nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (185.18.31-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Rename package as -185 and make -180 a transitional package.
  * Drop drm_agp_memory-2.6.31.patch as the module builds with 2.6.31
    kernels now.
  * New upstream release:
    -Fixed a crash on certain mobile GPUs.
    -Added code to forcibly terminate long-running CUDA kernels when Ctrl-C
     is pressed.
    -Fixed a bug that could cause occasional memory corruption problems or
     segmentation faults when running OpenGL applications on Quadro GPUs.
    -Fixed a deadlock in the OpenGL library that could be triggered in certain
     rare circumstances on Quadro GPUs.
    -Fixed an interaction problem between PowerMizer and CUDA applications
     that caused the performance level to be reduced while the CUDA kernel is
     running.
    -Made CUDA compute-exclusive mode persistent across GPU resets.
    -Fixed the order of outputs in the GPUScaling nvidia-settings property.
    -Fixed a bug that caused graphics corruption in some OpenGL applications
     when the Unified Back Buffer is enabled the application window is moved.
    -Fixed a bug that caused glXGetVideoSyncSGI, glXWaitVideoSyncSGI, and
     glXGetRefreshRateSGI to operate on the wrong screen when there are
     multiple X screens.
    -Fixed a bug that causes corruption or GPU errors when an application
     paints a redirected window whose background is set to ParentRelative on
     X.Org servers older than 1.5. This was typically triggered by running
     Kopete while using Compiz or Beryl.
    -Fixed a bug in VDPAU that could cause visible corruption when decoding
     H.264 clips with alternating frame/field coded reference pictures, and a
     video surface is concurrently removed from the DPB, and re-used as the
     decode target, in a single decode operation. This affected all GPUs
     supported by VDPAU.
    -Fixed a bug in VDPAU that could cause visible corruption near the bottom
     edge of the picture when decoding VC-1 advanced profile clips whose
     heights are not exact multiples of 16 pixels, on G98 and MCP7x (IGP) GPUs.
    -Enhanced VDPAU to better handle corrupt/invalid H.264 bitstreams on G84,
     G86, G92, G94, G96, or GT200 GPUs. This should prevent most cases of
     "display preemption" that are caused by bitstream errors.
    -Fixed an X server crash when using the VDPAU overlay-based presentation
     queue and VT-switching away from the X server.
    -Enhanced VDPAU's detection of the GPU's video decode capabilities.
    -Fixed a bug in VDPAU that could cause ghosting/flashing issues when
     decoding H.264 clips, in certain full DPB scenarios, on G98 and MCP7x.
    -Fixed VDPAU to detect an attempt to destroy the VdpDevice object when
     other device-owned objects still exist. VDPAU now triggers
     "display preemption", and returns an error, when this occurs.
    -Enhanced VDPAU's error handling and resource management in presentation
     queue creation and operation. This change correctly propagates all errors
     back to the client application, and avoids some resource leaks.
