nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (185.18.14-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
* New upstream release (LP: #376067):
- Fixed a Xinerama drawable resource management problem that can
cause GLXBadDrawable errors in certain cases, such as when Wine
applications are run.
(LP: #344721)
- Fixed XineramaQueryScreens to return 0 screens instead of 1
screen with the geometry of screen 0 when XineramaIsActive
returns false. This conforms to the Xinerama manual page and
fixes an interaction problem with Compiz when there is more
than one X screen.
- Moved kernel module loading earlier in the X driver's
initialization, to facilitate more graceful fallbacks if the
kernel module cannot be loaded. Removed the LoadKernelModule X
configuration option.
- Added support for new horizontal interlaced and checkerboard
passive stereo modes.
- Fixed an OpenGL driver crash while running Bibble 5.
- Fixed a DisplayPort interaction problem with power management
suspend/resume events.
- Fixed occasional X driver memory management performance
problems when a composite manager is running.
(LP: 294925)
- Fixed a bug with VT-switching or mode-switching while using
Compiz; the bug could lead to a corrupted desktop (e.g., a
white screen) or in the worst case an X server crash.
- Fixed a bug that could cause GPU errors in some cases while
driving Quadro SDI products.
- Fixed a several second hang when VT-switching while OpenGL
stereo applications were running on pre-G80 Quadro GPUs.
- Added support for multiple swap group members on G80 and later
Quadro GPUs.
- Fixed the behavior of the NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_SYNC_DELAY
NV-CONTROL attribute on Quadro G-Sync II.
- Fixed a problem with Quadro SDI where transitioning from
"clone mode" to "OpenGL mode" would fail.
- Fixed VDPAU to eliminate some cases of corruption when decoding
H.264 video containing field-coded reference frames on G84, G86,
G92, G94, G96, or GT200 GPUs. Such streams are commonly found in
DVB broadcasts.
- Slightly improved the performance of the VDPAU noise reduction
algorithm.
- Enhanced VDPAU to validate whether overlay usage is supported by
the current hardware configuration, and to automatically fall
back to the blit-based presentation queue if required.
- Fixed error checking in VdpVideoMixerRender, to reject calls
that specify more layers than the VdpMixer was created with.
- Modified VDPAU's VDPAU_DEBUG code to emit a complete backtrace
on all platforms, not just on 32-bit Linux.
- Improved interaction between VDPAU and PowerMizer; appropriate
performance levels should now be chosen for video playback of all
standard resolutions on all supported GPUs.
- Fixed a bug in VDPAU that sometimes caused "display preemption"
when the VdpDecoderCreate function failed.
- Fixed a potential segfault in the VDPAU trace library, triggered
by a multi-threaded application creating a new VdpDevice in one
thread, at the same time that another thread detected "display
preemption".
- Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
- OpenOffice and Skype no longer have flickering buttons on mouseover
when compiz is enabled. (LP: #286932)
- smplayer and VirtualBox no longer display video corruption with
composite (LP: #364764)
