Changelog

nvidia-graphics-drivers (295.20-0ubuntu1~xedgers~natty1) natty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
    - Added support for the following GPU:
      o Tesla X2090
    - Fixed a bug that caused black areas to appear on the back faces of some
      models in Maya.
    - Fixed a bug that resulted in the printing of spurious loader error
      messages.
    - Fixed a bug that could cause X to crash after hotplugging displays.
    - Fixed a bug which caused face selections to be misrendered in Maya when
      using the paint selection tool.
    - Improved performance for interactive tools in Mudbox.
    - Added a "--no-opengl-files" option to nvidia-installer to allow
      installation of the driver without OpenGL files that might conflict with
      already installed OpenGL implementations.
    - Split the DFP configuration page in nvidia-settings into multiple tabs,
      allowing the controls to be displayed on smaller screens.
    - Fixed a bug that could cause some OpenGL applications (including desktop
      environments like KDE and GNOME Shell) to hang.
    - Fixed a bug that prevented the internal panel from working on some laptops
      with GeForce 7 series GPUs.
    - Fixed an OpenGL bug where using display lists on Fermi-based GPUs could
      result in missing rendering in some cases.
    - Fixed an OpenGL bug that caused incorrect rendering when using framebuffer
      objects to render to 16-bit color textures with alpha.
    - Fixed two bugs that caused sporadic application crashes in some
      multi-threaded OpenGL applications.
    - Fixed a bug that caused creating OpenGL 4.2 contexts with
      glXCreateContextAttribsARB to fail.
    - Fixed a bug that caused OpenGL to print
      o Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0". when used with a
      non-NVIDIA implementation of the GLX X extension.
    - Implemented color depth 30 (10 bits per component) support for GeForce 8
      series and higher GPUs.
    - Implemented support for constraining cursors to the visible regions of
      connected displays; see the "ConstrainCursor" X Option in the README for
      details.
