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

  • nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 (173.14.28-0ubuntu3) natty; urgency=low
    
      * 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:
            vVENDORdDEVICEsvSUBVENDORsdSUBDEVICEbcBASECLASSscSUBCLASS
          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.

  • nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 (173.14.28-0ubuntu2) natty; urgency=low
    
      * 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.
