  * debian/upstream_info:
    - Treat lpia as i386 so as to fix FTBFS.
  * debian/nvidia-185-kernel-source.postinst:
    - Re-use the smart buildd detection system that we already use in the
      bcmwl-kernel-source package so as to allow pre-compiled modules when

  [ Alberto Milone ]
  * debian/control, debian/control.in:
    - Change the section of the -modaliases package to "admin" as the package
      is not "restricted" (LP: #429153).

nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (185.18.36-0ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/control.in:
    - Attempt to clean up the provides/conflicts/replaces to only have
      currently valid package names (for Karmic) to avoid confusion.
    - For the transitional packages, don't conflict, so that they should
      be installable. (LP: #418681)

Superseded in karmic-release 
nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (185.18.36-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (LP: #408561)
    - Fixed a bug that caused kernel panics when starting X on some mobile GPUs
    - Fixed an interaction problem between VDPAU and PowerMizer when using
      VDPAU solely as a display mechanism, and not to decode video streams. The
      GPU performance level should now be raised, if required, in this scenario.
    - Fixed VDPAU to avoid "display preemption" in some cases where a
      VdpOutputSurface is deleted while it is still active (either queued or
      visible) in a VdpPresentationQueue. In particular, this can occur in
      MPlayer when using the "-fs" option, and could completely prevent VDPAU
      from operating successfully, depending on the exact timing conditions.
  * debian/nvidia-glx-185.preinst:
     - Update to print-architecture rather than print-installation-architecture

 -- Mario Limonciello <email address hidden>   Sun, 23 Aug 2009 11:38:08 -0500
Superseded in karmic-release 
nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (185.18.31-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Rename package as -185 and make -180 a transitional package.
  * Drop drm_agp_memory-2.6.31.patch as the module builds with 2.6.31
    kernels now.
  * New upstream release:
    -Fixed a crash on certain mobile GPUs.
    -Added code to forcibly terminate long-running CUDA kernels when Ctrl-C
     is pressed.
    -Fixed a bug that could cause occasional memory corruption problems or
     segmentation faults when running OpenGL applications on Quadro GPUs.
    -Fixed a deadlock in the OpenGL library that could be triggered in certain
     rare circumstances on Quadro GPUs.
    -Fixed an interaction problem between PowerMizer and CUDA applications
     that caused the performance level to be reduced while the CUDA kernel is
     running.
    -Made CUDA compute-exclusive mode persistent across GPU resets.
    -Fixed the order of outputs in the GPUScaling nvidia-settings property.
    -Fixed a bug that caused graphics corruption in some OpenGL applications
     when the Unified Back Buffer is enabled the application window is moved.
    -Fixed a bug that caused glXGetVideoSyncSGI, glXWaitVideoSyncSGI, and
     glXGetRefreshRateSGI to operate on the wrong screen when there are
     multiple X screens.
    -Fixed a bug that causes corruption or GPU errors when an application
     paints a redirected window whose background is set to ParentRelative on
     X.Org servers older than 1.5. This was typically triggered by running
     Kopete while using Compiz or Beryl.
    -Fixed a bug in VDPAU that could cause visible corruption when decoding
     H.264 clips with alternating frame/field coded reference pictures, and a
     video surface is concurrently removed from the DPB, and re-used as the
     decode target, in a single decode operation. This affected all GPUs
     supported by VDPAU.
    -Fixed a bug in VDPAU that could cause visible corruption near the bottom
     edge of the picture when decoding VC-1 advanced profile clips whose
     heights are not exact multiples of 16 pixels, on G98 and MCP7x (IGP) GPUs.
    -Enhanced VDPAU to better handle corrupt/invalid H.264 bitstreams on G84,
     G86, G92, G94, G96, or GT200 GPUs. This should prevent most cases of
     "display preemption" that are caused by bitstream errors.
    -Fixed an X server crash when using the VDPAU overlay-based presentation
     queue and VT-switching away from the X server.
    -Enhanced VDPAU's detection of the GPU's video decode capabilities.
    -Fixed a bug in VDPAU that could cause ghosting/flashing issues when
     decoding H.264 clips, in certain full DPB scenarios, on G98 and MCP7x.
    -Fixed VDPAU to detect an attempt to destroy the VdpDevice object when
     other device-owned objects still exist. VDPAU now triggers
     "display preemption", and returns an error, when this occurs.
    -Enhanced VDPAU's error handling and resource management in presentation
     queue creation and operation. This change correctly propagates all errors
     back to the client application, and avoids some resource leaks.

nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (185.18.14-0ubuntu3) karmic; urgency=low

  * nvidia-rt-compat.patch: Dropped, the driver builds fine against the
    2.6.29.5 realtime kernel without it.

Superseded in karmic-release 
nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (185.18.14-0ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * Add in drm_agp_memory-2.6.31.patch to enable 2.6.31 support
    until NVIDIA has it in their next driver release. (LP: #394262)
    - Thanks everyone in that bug for finding and testing this patch.
    - Note: this patch appears to be a bit of a hack (removing i2c support)
      so take it with a grain of salt if there are still problems.

Superseded in karmic-release 
nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (185.18.14-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (LP: #376067):
    - Fixed a Xinerama drawable resource management problem that can
      cause GLXBadDrawable errors in certain cases, such as when Wine
      applications are run.
      (LP: #344721)
    - Fixed XineramaQueryScreens to return 0 screens instead of 1
      screen with the geometry of screen 0 when XineramaIsActive
      returns false. This conforms to the Xinerama manual page and
      fixes an interaction problem with Compiz when there is more
      than one X screen.
    - Moved kernel module loading earlier in the X driver's
      initialization, to facilitate more graceful fallbacks if the
      kernel module cannot be loaded. Removed the LoadKernelModule X
      configuration option.
    - Added support for new horizontal interlaced and checkerboard
      passive stereo modes.
    - Fixed an OpenGL driver crash while running Bibble 5.
    - Fixed a DisplayPort interaction problem with power management
      suspend/resume events.
    - Fixed occasional X driver memory management performance
      problems when a composite manager is running.
      (LP: 294925)
    - Fixed a bug with VT-switching or mode-switching while using
      Compiz; the bug could lead to a corrupted desktop (e.g., a
      white screen) or in the worst case an X server crash.
    - Fixed a bug that could cause GPU errors in some cases while
      driving Quadro SDI products.
    - Fixed a several second hang when VT-switching while OpenGL
      stereo applications were running on pre-G80 Quadro GPUs.
    - Added support for multiple swap group members on G80 and later
      Quadro GPUs.
    - Fixed the behavior of the NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_SYNC_DELAY
      NV-CONTROL attribute on Quadro G-Sync II.
    - Fixed a problem with Quadro SDI where transitioning from
      "clone mode" to "OpenGL mode" would fail.
    - Fixed VDPAU to eliminate some cases of corruption when decoding
      H.264 video containing field-coded reference frames on G84, G86,
      G92, G94, G96, or GT200 GPUs. Such streams are commonly found in
      DVB broadcasts.
    - Slightly improved the performance of the VDPAU noise reduction
      algorithm.
    - Enhanced VDPAU to validate whether overlay usage is supported by
      the current hardware configuration, and to automatically fall
      back to the blit-based presentation queue if required.
    - Fixed error checking in VdpVideoMixerRender, to reject calls
      that specify more layers than the VdpMixer was created with.
    - Modified VDPAU's VDPAU_DEBUG code to emit a complete backtrace
      on all platforms, not just on 32-bit Linux.
    - Improved interaction between VDPAU and PowerMizer; appropriate
      performance levels should now be chosen for video playback of all
      standard resolutions on all supported GPUs.
    - Fixed a bug in VDPAU that sometimes caused "display preemption"
      when the VdpDecoderCreate function failed.
    - Fixed a potential segfault in the VDPAU trace library, triggered
      by a multi-threaded application creating a new VdpDevice in one
      thread, at the same time that another thread detected "display
      preemption".
    - Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
    - OpenOffice and Skype no longer have flickering buttons on mouseover
      when compiz is enabled. (LP: #286932)
    - smplayer and VirtualBox no longer display video corruption with
      composite (LP: #364764)

    - Fixed stability problems with some GeForce 6200/7200/7300 GPUs on
      multi-core/SMP systems.
    - Fixed VGA console restoration on some laptop GPUs.
    - Fixed a bug that caused kernel crashes when attempting to initialize
      NvAGP on Linux/x86-64 kernels built with the CONFIG_GART_IOMMU kernel
      option.
    - Fixed a bug that caused some performance levels to be disabled on
      certain GeForce 9 series notebooks.
    - Fixed an OpenGL driver crash while running Bibble 5.
  * New upstream release. (180.51)
    -  Added support for the following GPUs:
       o GeForce 9600 GSO 512
       o GeForce 9400 GT
       o GeForce GTS 250
       o GeForce GT 140
       o GeForce GT 130
    - Updated nvidia-bug-report.sh to compress its log file; running
      `nvidia-bug-report.sh` now produces "nvidia-bug-report.log.gz".
    - Addressed a problem that could lead to intermittent hangs and system
      crashes on some GeForce 9 and later GPUs.
    - Fixed an X server crash when viewing the website www.tim.it.
    - Fixed a DisplayPort interaction problem with power management
      suspend/resume events.
    - Fixed rendering corruption in the OpenGL 16-bit RGB Workstation Overlay.
    - Fixed a recent VDPAU regression that caused aborted playback >and hangs
      when decoding some H.264 clips on G84, G86, G92, G94, G96, and GT200 GPUs.
    - Fixed occasional X driver memory management performance problems when a
      composite manager is running.

    - Fixed compatibility problem with LandMark GeoProbe.
    - Fixed an interaction problem that resulted in corruption of the internal
      flatpanel's EDID on the Fujitsu Technology Solutions Celsius H270
      notebook. Using earlier NVIDIA Linux drivers on this notebook will result
      in a corrupt EDID, persisting across reboots, that can only be corrected
      through contacting Fujitsu Technology Solutions technical support. NVIDIA
      and Fujitsu recommend that all Linux Celsius H270 notebook users use
      NVIDIA Linux graphics drivers 180.50 or later.
    - Fixed a bug that could interfere with the detection of display devices
      attached to secondary GPUs when first starting X after cold boots.
    - Fixed a problem that could result in temporary stalls when moving OpenGL
      application windows on GeForce 8 and later GPUs.
    - Fixed a bug that prevented VGA fonts from being saved/restored correctly
      on GeForce 8 and later GPUs.
  - Drop debian.binary/patches/nvidia-x86_64-180.44-2.6.30-rc2.patch.  It looks
    like 180.60 compiles against 2.6.30 without trouble.

      o Quadro FX 580
      o Quadro FX 380
      o Quadro NVS 295
      o GeForce GT 120
      o GeForce G100
    - Fixed a problem that could cause Xid errors and display corruption
      in certain cases when OpenGL is used to render to redirected windows,
      for example when Java2D is used with the -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true option.
    - Updated glGetStringi(GL_EXTENSIONS, i) to no longer return NULL in
      OpenGL 3.0 preview contexts.
    - Fixed OpenGL crashes while running KDE4's Plasma.
    - Fixed OpenGL crashes when using a large number of texture objects.
    - Fixed the timestamp reporting in the GL_NV_present_video extension
      on SDI II with Quadro FX 4800 and 5800.
    - Improved power management support on some systems, such as
      Hewlett-Packard xw4600 workstations.
    - Fixed a problem that caused the screen to flicker momentarily when
      OpenGL applications exit unexpectedly on GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs.
    - Fixed an X server crash when an X client attempts to draw trapezoids
      and RenderAccel is disabled.
    - Improved recovery from certain types of errors.
    - Fixed a bug that caused Autodesk Maya to freeze when overlays are
      enabled.
    - Fixed an interaction problem between OpenGL and memory tracking
      libraries such as MicroQuill SmartHeap.

      by VDPAU; see the README for details.
    - Fixed VDPAU corruption on some H.264 clips.
    - Updated VDPAU documentation in the README and in vdpau.h, in
      particular regarding how to use the deinterlacing algorithms in the
      VdpVideoMixer object. Explicitly documented "half rate" deinterlacing,
      which should allow the advanced algorithms to run on more low-end
      systems.
    - Implemented a "skip chroma deinterlace" option in VDPAU, which should
      allow the advanced deinterlacing algorithms to run on more low-end
      systems. See vdpau.h.
    - Fixed VDPAU VC-1 decoding on 64-bit platforms.
    - Updated the VDPAU wrapper library to print dlerror() messages when
      driver loading problems occur.
    - Improved VDPAU's handling of some corrupt H.264 streams, and some
      corrupt/invalid MPEG streams on some GPUs.
    - Fixed VDPAU to correctly handle WMV "range reduction" on some GPUs.
      A minor backwards-compatible API change was made for this; see
      vdpau.h's documentation for structure field VdpPictureInfoVC1.rangered.
    - Fixed a problem that caused surfaces to be marked as visible too early
      when the blit presentation queue is in use.
    - Fixed VDPAU to prevent some cases of "display preemption" in the face
      of missing H.264 reference frames on some GPUs.
    - Fixed corruption decoding H.264 clips with pictures where
      pic_order_cnt_type implies log2_max_pic_order_cnt_lsb_minus4 is not
      used, on G84, G86, G92, G94, G96, GT200 GPUs.
    - Update vdpau.h to document exact requirements for VdpDecoderRender
      bitstream data content.

    - Fix hang in VDPAU in some cases of output mode timing changes.
  * debian/nvidia-glx-$VER-preinst:
    - Look for diversions in a more accurate way with grep.
  * debian/nvidia-glx-$VER-dev.preinst.in:
    - Make sure that diversions on /usr/lib/libGL.so are only removed
      and not added (LP: #335621).
  * debian/nvidia-glx-$VER-dev.links.in:
    - Do not create a symlink to /usr/lib/libGL.so.#VERSION# in
      /usr/lib/libGL.so
  * debian/nvidia-glx-$VER.postrm.in, debian/nvidia-glx-$VER-dev.postrm.in:

Superseded in jaunty-release 
nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (180.37-0ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Make nvidia-180-libvdpau-dev Architecture: i386 amd64 rather than all.
    Although it's technically architecture-independent, it's tiny (so
    archive space waste is minimal) and it's only installable on those two
    architectures.
  * Add a binary-indep target (empty), per policy.

      o VDPAU now supports VC-1/WMV acceleration on all GPUs supported by VDPAU;
        see the README for details.
      o Expand the documentation of VDPAU's VdpVideoMixer, in particular regarding
        how to use the deinterlacing algorithms. Explicitly document "half rate"
        deinterlacing, which should allow the advanced algorithms to run on more
        low-end systems. See vdpau.h.
      o Implement a "skip chroma deinterlace" option in VDPAU, which should allow
        the advanced deinterlacing algorithms to run on more low-end systems. See
        vdpau.h.
      o Enhance VDPAU to correctly handle some forms of corrupt/invalid MPEG
        streams on some GPUs.
      o Fix VDPAU to prevent some cases of "display preemption" in the face of
        missing H.264 reference frames on some GPUs.
      o Fix VDPAU to correctly handle VC-1 skipped pictures with missing start
        codes on some GPUs.
      o Fix VDPAU to correctly handle WMV "range reduction" on some GPUs. A minor
        backwards-compatible API change was made for this; see vdpau.h's
        documentation for structure field VdpPictureInfoVC1.rangered.
      o Fix VDPAU wrapper library to print dlerror() messages when problems occur,
        which will simplify debugging of driver loading issues.

nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (180.29-0ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

  * debian/control.in:
    - Revert change adding dependency to nvidia-glx-180 on nvidia-180-libvdpau.
      This would cause any package that built against nvidia-180-libvpdau to
      depend and build depend on nvidia-glx-180.
    - Add replaces to nvidia-glx-177 instead.
