o GeForce GTX 480
o GeForce GTX 470
o Tesla C2050
- Fixed a problem that caused occasional red flashes in XVideo
frames (LP: #580763).
- Added official support for xserver 1.8. The -ignoreABI option
is no longer required with this version of the server.
- Updated the "Supported NVIDIA GPU Products" list to include
various supported GPUs that were missing previously.
* debian/nvidia- current. dirs.in:
- Do not install empty directories (GL, CL, cuda) in
/usr/share/include (LP: #540171). - 20. By Alberto Milone

* debian/
dkms/patches/ vga_arbiter_ workaround. patch:
- Prevent X from crashing with kernel 2.6.32 when 2 or more
nvidia cards are available (LP: #573557). - 19. By Alberto Milone
-
* debian/
nvidia- $flavour. {dirs|postinst} .in, rules:
- Install the blacklist file in /lib/nvidia-$flavour instead
of /usr/lib/nvidia- $flavour so that the file is available
early in the boot process when /usr is on a different
partition (LP: #538071).
- Ignore errors when trying to update the initramfs
with -k $CURRENT_KERNEL which is known to fail when
using chroots (LP: #556653). - 18. By Alberto Milone
-
* New upstream release:
- Fixed a bug that caused the X server to crash when rendering
occurred while the X server was not on the active VT.
- Fixed a regression that caused the driver to fail to properly
adjust the GPU fan speed on some GPUs.
- Fixed a bug that prevented performance level transitions on
recent GPUs with SDDR3 and GDDR5 memory.
* debian/nvidia- $flavour. {postinst| prerm}. in:
- Call gmenucache trigger so that the icon of nvidia-settings
shows up in the menu (LP: #522969).
* debian/nvidia- current. links{32} .in:
- Add link to libOpenCL.so in /usr/lib and in /usr/lib32. - 17. By Alberto Milone
-
* New upstream release:
- Added support for the following GPUs:
o Quadro FX 880M
o GeForce GTS 350M
o GeForce GTS 360M
- Fixed a bug that caused screen corruption after an application
released a GLX_NV_present_ video device.
- Fixed brightness control hotkeys on some laptops.
- Fixed a bug that caused G-Sync stereo synchronization to fail
sometimes when enabling frame lock.
- Fixed a bug that caused OpenGL applications to occasionally crash
with "double free or corruption" messages when exiting.
- On GPUs with VDPAU feature set A, enhanced VDPAU's handling of
some corrupted or incorrectly formatted MPEG-1/2 streams. This
solves a reported issue with "0testbad.mpg".
- Fixed a bug in the VDPAU video mixer that caused chroma
aberrations, and corruption in the right-hand few columns of
pixels, when post-processing video surfaces with widths not an
exact multiple of 4 pixels.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the GPUFanControlState attribute from
being set on the nvidia-settings command line. - 16. By Alberto Milone
-
* New upstream release:
- Fixed a regression that made the "TVStandard" X
configuration option cause system hangs with products
from the GeForce 6 and 7 series.
- Worked around a bug in some AUO laptop flat panels
where the native mode in the EDID is invalid, leading to
a 640x480 desktop repeated six times across the screen.
- Increased the maximum number of slices supported by VDPAU
for MPEG-2 streams, in order to cope with the region 1
DVD "A Christmas Story".
- Added unofficial preliminary support for xorg-server
video driver ABI version 7, including xorg-server-1.7.99. 2.
- Fix the soname of libvdpau_nvidia. so.1 and
libvdpau_trace.so. 1 to match their filenames.
