linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15 2.6.15.3-1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15 (2.6.15.3-1) dapper; urgency=low


  * Include new firmware for acx100 USB, acx100 PCI and acx111 PCI to match
    the layout that our shiny new driver expects to see, courtesy of BenC.
  * Update non-legacy NVIDIA driver to 1.0.8174, legacy still at 1.0.7174.
    - Install /usr/bin/nvidia-settings, /usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig, and their
      manpages in nvidia-glx.  nvidia-xconfig is provided to allow you to
      create sample configs and customise your xorg.conf should you want to,
      however, it's recommended most people don't use it as it conflicts
      with how we currently configure X (nvidia-glx-config), and with how
      we plan to do it in the future (re-seed debconf and re-run dexconf)
    - Add NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-7174-global_flush_tlb.patch to work around
      tickling buggy behaviour in global_flush_tlb on some amd64 kernels.
    - Add NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-8174-pm_fixes.patch to fix power management
      support in line with changes in the kernel as of version 2.6.14.
    - Add NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-8174-broken_paths.patch to resolve a failure
      to find the correct version of the kernel header tree built against.
    - Add NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-8174-vm_insert_page.patch, adding support for
      the new vm_insert_page() kernel interface introduced in 2.6.15-rc5.
    - Add NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-8174-AGP_kernel_BUG.patch, resolving a situation
      where the nvidia module can throw a kernel BUG on some AGP systems.
  * Update ATI fglrx driver to version 8.20.8, now with PowerPlay support.
    - Add panel_fglrx_pp_proto.patch to bring back the fglrx_pp_proto.h
      header that seems to have mysteriously gone missing from this update.
    - NOTE: This driver still DOES NOT correctly support kernel 2.6.15,
      which is what we are shipping.  If you use it, your system WILL crash,
      very likely while in use, definitely when shutting down.  We are
      hoping to get this issue resolved upstream as soon as we possibly can.
  * Another kernel ABI bump, this time for linux-source-2.6.15 2.6.15-8.
