  - Thanks to NVIDIA for providing the patch.
  - CVE number pending

Restore slave link to grub-gfxpayload file. This only provide an
empty blacklist file which shows how to blacklist cards if necessary.
This change re-enables a feature available which was disabled in
280.13-0ubuntu4 (LP: #854967).

* Drop /usr/share/grub-gfxpayload-lists/blacklist handling; there's
  nothing about binary drivers in particular that requires blacklisting,
  we just need recovery mode to not start the console in graphics mode.
  LP: #854967.
* Drop the initramfs hook in favor of 'alias nouveau/lbm_nouveau off',
  so that initramfs framebuffer handling will still work. LP: #864149.

* debian/rules:
  - Make sure that the module alias is always correct and
    uses underscores instead of hyphens (LP: #855396).
  - Make the grub-gfxpayload file a template and blacklist
    all Nvidia cards so that Grub doesn't set a framebuffer
    which prevents recovery mode from working (LP: #854967).
  - Make it possible to add card ids to the modaliases by
    adding ids in debian/additional_card_ids.
* debian/additional_card_ids:
  - Add support for card id 0dfc.
* debian/nvidia-$flavour.README.Debian.in:
  - Document how to use the additional_card_ids file.

* debian/rules:
  - Remove trailing spaces.
  - Blacklist the updates flavours in modprobe.conf.
  - Add an initramfs hook to make sure that nothings else loads
    open graphics drivers in the initramfs (LP: #839524).

* debian/nvidia-current.postinst{.in}:
  - Make sure to create and use X.Org's multiarch extra modules
    path (LP: #807209).
  - Share the same name for grub's blacklist file for all
    drivers.
* debian/rules:
  - Fix issues with pbuild.
  - Do not provide the X abi any longer. Depending on the ABI is
    enough.

46. By Alberto Milone on 2011-08-02

* debian/nvidia-current.postinst{.in}:
  - Make nvidia.icd a slave link.
  - Make libOpenCL.so a slave link for both architectures.
* New upstream release:
  - Added support for the following GPUs:
    o GeForce GT 540
    o GeForce GTX 570M
    o GeForce GTX 580M
  - Fixed memory error and abort reported by glibc when running
    the application FieldView from Intelligent Light.
  - Fixed an OpenGL driver bug that caused an application crash
    when running Altair HyperMesh.
  - Fixed a performance problem when switching between stereo
    and monoscopic rendering in the application Smoke.
  - Fixed poor X driver handling of pixmap out of memory
    scenarios.
  - Fixed an interrupt handling deficiency that could lead to
    performance and stability problems when many NVIDIA GPUs
    shared few IRQs.
  - Fixed bugs in the VDPAU presentation queue that could cause
    GPU errors and hangs when destroying a presentation queue.
    This happens when exiting applications, and also when
    toggling to and from full-screen mode in Adobe Flash.
  - Fixed a GLX bug that could cause the X server to crash when
    rendering a display list using GLX indirect rendering.
  - Fixed a GLX bug that could cause a hang in applications that
    use X server grabs.
  - Fixed an X driver bug that caused 16x8 stipple patterns to
    be rendered incorrectly.
  - Fixed a GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap bug that caused
    corruption when texturing from sufficiently small pixmaps
    and, in particular, corruption in the GNOME Shell Message
    Tray.
  - Added unofficial GLX protocol support (i.e. for GLX indirect
    rendering) for the following OpenGL extension:
    o GL_EXT_vertex_attrib_64bit
  - Added GLX protocol support (i.e. for GLX indirect rendering)
    for the following OpenGL extensions:
    o GL_ARB_half_float_pixel
    o GL_EXT_packed_depth_stencil

Bump revision and get rid of the patch accidentally left in
the main directory.

44. By Alberto Milone on 2011-06-27

Use an empty ld.so.conf when installing alternative for the
non-native arch, otherwise it would be impossible to switch
to mesa without installing mesa for the same architecture.
