nvidia-glx: Install the TLS library in /usr/lib, symlink the one in
/usr/lib/tls to the one in /usr/lib. LP: #205079.

* ABI bump to 14.
* Madwifi 0.9.4 (LP: #208754):
  - fixes compilation for recently released kernel 2.6.24
  - introduces Minstrel rate control algorithm
  - introduces switch to turn ANI (Ambience Noise Immunity) off, which
    can help to improve performance (see also #705)
  - several bug fixes to improve stability
  - now defaults to radiotap headers in monitor mode
  - adds support for variable number of VAPs, tunable via module
    parameter
* control: Drop the nvidia-kernel-ABIVER dependencies from nvidia-glx*, since
  fglrx is doing just fine without them, and they only create problems
  during upgrades when apt selects the first package to provide the
  virtual package. (LP: #188287)
* ltmodem/serial.c: Modify to compile with 2.6.24. Enable ltmodem again.
  (LP: #210652)
* Add openvz flavour.

* fglrx 8-3 (LP: #199304)
  - On workstation hardware 3D applications will no longer be corrupted
  if the screen width is not an integer multiple of 64 pixels, for
  example with a 1680x1050 wide screen display. Further details can be
  found in topic number 737-31720
  - Display flicker is no longer be noticed when the gnome screen-saver
  starts (LP: #198702)
  - Several image brightness and gamma-correction issues were
  resolved. Setting the gamma correction using xgamma, fglrx_xgamma,
  xorg.conf and in OpenGL games will all work as expected now.
  - Diagonal tearing will no longer be noticed when playing a video file
  using a video player that utilizes the XVideo extension
  - Video playback will no longer look blocky when playing a video file
  using a video player that utilizes the XVideo extension

* ABI bump to -11.
* nvidia-new 169.12 (LP: #195901)
  - Improved power management support with GeForce 8 GPUs.
  - Further improved stability on some GeForce 8 GPUs.
  - Fixed a bug that broke certain TwinView configurations with TV-OUT on
    GeForce 8 GPUs.
  - Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL to crash in certain cases, e.g.
    when running Counter-Strike under Wine. (LP: #194599)
  - Further improved GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap out-of-memory handling.
  - Fixed a bug that could result in incorrect PowerMizer state being
    reported.
  - Improved nvidia-xconfig behavior when updating X configuration files
    without a "Module" section.
  - Worked around a problem that caused function key presses on some
    Toshiba notebooks to result in system crashes.

  Still doesn't build though, so not enabled.
