-

- Depend on ${xviddriver:Depends} .
* debian/rules:
- Manually set video ABI compatibility to 8 so that the driver is not

-
* debian/
nvidia- 173.prerm{ .in}:
- Call dpkg-trigger with --by-package=$PACKAGE_ NAME.
* Add support for blacklisting card ids from GRUB gfxpayload=keep:
- In Natty gfxpayload=keep is set by default so as to provide a framebuffer
early in the boot process. Some cards don't play nicely with it, therefore
we need to blacklist them in a file. The format is a sequence of lines of
the following form:
vVENDORdDEVICEsvSUBVENDO RsdSUBDEVICEbcB ASECLASSscSUBCL ASS
Blacklist lines are regex-matched against a corresponding PCI ID string.
In practice this means that you can replace any part of the ID string
with .* to match anything. - 36. By Martin Pitt
-
* Move from separate modalias file package to using a package header:
- debian/control.in, debian/rules: Drop -modaliases package.
- debian/control.in: Add XB-Modaliases header and dh-modaliases build
dependency.
- debian/rules: Build the modalias list to
debian/nvidia- 173.modaliases, where dh_modaliases picks it up, and
invoke dh_modaliases.
- debian/control.in: Add Conflicts:/Replaces: to nvidia- 173-modaliases, so
that the obsolete modaliases package gets cleaned up on upgrade. - 35. By Alberto Milone
-

* debian/
nvidia- $flavour. {dirs|postinst} .in, rules:

with -k $CURRENT_KERNEL which is known to fail when
using chroots (LP: #556653). - 32. By Alberto Milone
