* debian/
templates/ control. in:
- Conflict/replace/ provide nvidia- driver- binary
which is specific to modern nvidia drivers.
* debian/dkms/patches/ allow_sublevel_ greater_ than_5. patch,
debian/templates/ dkms.conf. in:
- Allow SUBLEVEL variables greater than 5 in the
kernel Makefile (LP: #1166639).
* New upstream release:
- Fixed CVE-2013-0131: NVIDIA UNIX GPU Driver ARGB
Cursor Buffer Overflow in "NoScanout" Mode. This
buffer overflow, which occurred when an X client
installed a large ARGB cursor on an X server
running in NoScanout mode, could cause a denial
of service (e.g., an X server segmentation fault),
or could be exploited to achieve arbitrary code
execution. - 8. By Alberto Milone
-
* debian/rules:
- Allow direct assignment of package name. Thanks to
Andy Dick <email address hidden> for the patch.
- Use flavour-agnostic template file names. The *.in
template files currently need to be renamed when
switching package flavours. To facilitate package
flavour switching, we use the flavour-agnostic
templates nvidia-graphics- drivers- *.in in the
debian/templates directory and generate flavour
specific files from them.
This work is based on the original implementation
by Daniel Dadap <email address hidden>.
* debian/templates/ control. in:
- Conflict/replace/ provide xorg-driver-binary.
Each nvidia and fglrx driver will do the same with
xorg-driver- binary.
- Drop any other conflicts/replaces/ provides.
* debian/templates/ nvidia- graphics- drivers. README.
Debian.in:
- Update the documentation so as to cover the
fact that we moved templates to debian/templates. - 7. By Alberto Milone
-
* debian/
dkms.conf. in:
- Drop all patches.
* debian/control.in:
- Conflict/replace/ provide nvidia-313-updates.
* debian/substvars:
- Add support for ABI 14.
* New upstream release:
- Fixed a bug that could lead to rendering corruption
after an X server generation (i.e., leaving an X
server running after all of its clients have exited).
- Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to crash
when performing an RandR 1.0 rotation (e.g., `xrandr
--orientation left`) after unplugging the last
connected monitor.
- Fixed a bug that caused the nvidia-xconfig(1) man
page to be blank.
- Added support for X.org xserver ABI 14 (xorg-server 1.14).
- Fixed font rendering performance and corruption
problems on X servers with backported support for
the new glyph cache functionality added to Pixman 0.27.
- Fixed a potential X server crash during initialization,
when a graphics card with a TV connector has no TV
connected.
- Added a new X configuration option, "UseHotplugEvents",
to allow the suppression of RandR events when adding
or removing non-DisplayPort displays. See the
"X Config Options" appendix of the README for details. - 4. By Alberto Milone
-
* debian/control.in:
- Create transitional packages for nvidia-current and
nvidia-current- dev.
