Changelog

nvidia-graphics-drivers-177 (177.67-0ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Fix (LP: #254444) Remove pound from link in nvidia-glx-177-dev.links.in
  * Fix (LP: #259105) Add missing link to usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.#VERSION# in
    usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so
  * Add driver 177.67:
     * Added support for the following new GPUs:
       o GeForce GTX 260
       o GeForce GTX 280
     * Improved support for RENDER masks, as well as RENDER repeating modes and
       transformations, for video memory pixmaps.
     * Added accelerated support for RENDER convolution filters for video memory
       pixmaps on GeForce 8, 9 and GTX GPUs.
     * Added an 'AllowSHMPixmaps' X configuration option, which can be used to prevent
       applications from using shared memory pixmaps; the latter may cause some
       optimizations in the NVIDIA X driver to be disabled.
     * Added support for DisplayPort display devices (including 30-bit devices).
     * Resolved various stability problems on GeForce 8, 9 and GTX GPUs, as well as
       some GeForce 6 and 7 PCI-E GPUs.
     * Fixed a bug that resulted in GPU errors when changing the TwinView display
       configuration while using Compiz.
     * Further improved the error recovery paths taken in case of GPU command stream
       corruption.
     * Removed an old workaround that caused incorrect fake Xinerama information to be
       reported after enabling a second TwinView display.
     * Fixed the subpicture component order reported by the NVIDIA X driver's XvMC
       implementation.
     * Fixed a problem that could result in IRQs being disabled on some multi-GPU SMP
       configurations.
     * Worked around cache flushing problems (on some Linux kernels) that caused
       corruption and stability problems.
     * Added experimental support for PCI-E MSI.
     * Improved compatibility with recent Linux 2.6 kernels.
