nvidia-graphics-drivers (256.35-0ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low

  [ Alberto Milone ]
  * debian/nvidia-current-dev*:
    - Make the dev package conflict with other dev packages which
      provide nvidia-dev so as to make it possible to install
      headers directly in /usr/include.
  * Adapt the packaging scripts to the new NVIDIA installers.
  * New upstream release:
    - Fixed a 3D Vision Stereo bug that caused the stereo glasses
      to not toggle when the flat panel was not running at its
      native mode timings.
    - Fixed a bug which prevented use of high performance PowerMizer
      levels on systems with certain ACPI configurations.
    - Fixed a bug that caused non-primary Fermi GPUs to fail to
      initialize framebuffer memory. This caused a variety of
      symptoms, up to and including system hangs.
    - Added unofficial GLX protocol support (i.e., for GLX indirect
      rendering) for the following OpenGL extensions:
      o GL_ARB_blend_func_extended
      o GL_ARB_draw_buffers_blend
      o GL_ARB_sample_shading
      o GL_ARB_timer_query
      o GL_EXT_draw_buffers2
      o GL_EXT_separate_shader_objects
      o GL_NV_explicit_multisample
      o GL_NV_transform_feedback
    - Fixed an interaction problem between Compiz and
      'screen-scraping' VNC servers like x11vnc and vino that
      caused the screen to stop updating (LP: #353126).
    - Enhanced VDPAU to add basic support for Xinerama. VDPAU will
      now operate on a single physical X screen under Xinerama.
      See the README for more details.
    - Enhanced VDPAU's handling of corrupt clips of all formats
      on GPUs with VDPAU feature set C to be at least as good as
      on GPUs with VDPAU feature set B. This significantly
      improves various clips provided by nvnews.net user eamiller.
    - Fixed a bug in Xv attribute handling that caused hue,
      saturation, brightness and contrast values to be misapplied
      when using an Xv overlay adaptor.
    - Fixed a bug in the XvMC driver that prevented it from
      working on systems with AGP graphics cards.
    - Enhanced VDPAU to clear all VdpVideoSurfaces to black when
      allocated. This provides more consistent results when using
      a surface as a reference when no prior decode operation has
      written to that surface. In turn, this improves the results
      of decoding some corrupt streams, such as "p_only_no_play"
      from ffmpeg bug 1124.
    - Implemented new APIs to allow sharing VDPAU surfaces with
      OpenGL andCUDA. The OpenGL extension is GL_NV_vdpau_interop.
      For CUDA, please see the documentation in the CUDA toolkit
      for details.
    - Worked around a bug where the combination of a GPU with
      VDPAU feature set A together with specific motherboard
      chipsets could cause visible corruption when decoding some
      MPEG-2 streams.
    - Fixed a bug that prevented the VDPAU overlay-based
      presentation queue from being used more than a few hundred
      times per X server invocation.
    - Renamed the driver file libGLcore.so.VERSION to
      libnvidia-glcore.so.VERSION, as a small step towards
      reducing the filename collisions between NVIDIA's and
      MESA's OpenGL implementations.This driver file is used by
      NVIDIA's libGL.so and libglx.so, and should never be used
      directly by applications.
    - Changed the SONAME of libnvidia-glcore.so.VERSION,
      libnvidia-tls.so.VERSION, and libnvidia-compiler.so.VERSION
      to be ".so.VERSION", rather than ".so.1". These driver files
      are only used by other NVIDIA driver components, and are
      only intended to be usedby components of the matching NVIDIA
      driver version.
    - Removed the "-pkg#" suffix from the NVIDIA Linux .run files.
      The packages are now simply named "NVIDIA-Linux-ARCH-VERSION.run".
      On Linux-x86_64, a package which omits the 32-bit compatibility
      libraries is also available:
      "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-VERSION-no-compat32.run"
    - Compressed the nvidia-settings, nvidia-installer and
      nvidia-xconfig tarballs with bzip2, rather than gzip.

  * debian/nvidia_supported:
    - nVidia changed the driver blob so that the old heuristic for finding the
      symbol with the PCI ID list failed. Implement a new heuristic by finding
      the symbol that matches the ID list in README closely enough. (README is
      missing a great number of IDs, which is why we need to grab the list
      from the blob in the first place).
