- Update to 525.60.11

* Fixed a bug which caused Dynamic Boost to not engage on certain
AmpereGPU based notebooks.
* Added support for Dynamic Boost on notebooks with AMD CPUs.
* Improved the performance of PRIME render-offloaded applications.
* Fixed a regression that prevented Warp & Blend from working
correctly.
* Fixed a bug that resulted in stutter when moving windows in
GNOME.
* Added support for the EGL_MESA_platform_surfaceless extension.
* Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to prevent the
creationof display layouts that exceed hardware size
limitations when using the SLI Mosaic configuration page,
and to display a warning if such a layout is created manually
in the Display Configuration page.
* Removed the hard dependency on GTK 2 when building
nvidia-settingsfrom source. nvidia-settings may now be built
with support for GTK 2 only, GTK 3 only, or both GTK 2 and
GTK 3.
* Fixed a bug which caused suspend to fail on systems running
GNOME 3as a Wayland compositor with
NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations enabled.
* Updated the open kernel modules to support Quadro Sync,
Stereo,rotation in X11, and YUV 4:2:0 on Turing.
* Updated an error message that nvidia-installer displays when
kernelheader files cannot be found to print full paths for
the missing files.
* Updated nvidia-installer to use "command -v" in place of
depending on"which" to determine the availability and
location of certain tools.
* Implemented support for over-the-air updates in the Proton
and Wine NVIDIANGX build. This feature is disabled by default
and can be enabled by setting the "PROTON_ENABLE_NGX_UPDATER"
environment variable to a value of "1".
* Updated the Vulkan driver so that the following extensions
no longerdepend on nvidia-uvm.ko being loaded at runtime:
* VK_KHR_acceleration_structure
* VK_KHR_deferred_host_operations
* VK_KHR_ray_query
* VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline
* VK_NV_cuda_kernel_launch
* VK_NV_ray_tracing
* VK_NV_ray_tracing_motion_blur
* VK_NVX_binary_import
* VK_NVX_image_view_handle
* Updated nvidia-installer to allow use of the
"--add-this-kernel"feature by non-root users.
* Updated nvidia-installer to display a more accurate progress
bar whenbuilding the kernel modules.
* Updated nvidia-installer to display a warning message if
a VulkanICD loader is not detected.
* Reworked nvidia-installer's support for DKMS: the kernel
modules willnow be optionally registered with DKMS after the
installer has already built and installed them on its own.
nvidia-installer will now register the kernel modules with
DKMS by default when the dkms(8) utility is detected on the
system.
* Fixed a bug in the Vulkan driver which could lead to
corruption ingeometry and tessellation control shaders.
* Added a new CUDA Debugger implementation for Pascal and
newerarchitectures as a part of the driver package:
libcudadebugger.so (previously released separately as
"CUDA GDB Developer Preview").
* Fixed a bug that caused nvidia-settings to find incorrect
fan speedranges on some GPUs. Lower-level layers of the
driver protected the hardware from programming incorrect
fan speeds, so the symptom was only incorrect reporting.
Now, reporting in nvidia-settings matches what actually gets
programmed in hardware.
* Fixed a regression in 515.76 that caused blank screens and
hangs whenstarting an X server on RTX 30 series GPUs in some
configurations where the boot display is connected via HDMI.
* Fixed a bug where Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered would
sometimes crashwith Xid 13 errors on Turing and later.

the allowed values for GPUTargetFanSpeed to match the existing
valid fan speed ranges for supported NVIDIA GPUs. The valid
ranges are 30%-100% for Ampere or newer GPUs, and 1%-100% for
older GPUs.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun 24 Jul 00:27:00 CET 2022 - bumblebee.obs@gmail.com

- Update to 515.48.07

* Published the source code to a variant of the NVIDIA Linux
kernel modules dual-licensed as MIT/GPLv2. The source is
available here:
https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules
and will be updated each driver release. Please see the
"Open Linux Kernel Modules" chapter in the README for details.
* Added support for the VK_EXT_external_memory_dma_buf and
VK_EXT_image_drm_format_modifier Vulkan extensions. To use
this functionality, the nvidia-drm kernel module must be
loaded with DRM KMS mode setting enabled. See the DRM KMS
section of the README for guidance on enabling mode setting.
* Changed nvidia-suspend.service, nvidia-resume.service, and
nvidia-hibernate.service to use WantedBy= rather than
RequiredBy= dependencies for systemd-suspend.service and
systemd-hibernate.service. This avoids a problem where
suspend or hibernate fails if the NVIDIA driver is uninstalled
without disabling these services first.
See https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/21991
If these services were manually enabled, it may be necessary
to update their dependencies by running
sudo systemctl reenable nvidia-suspend.service
nvidia-resume.service nvidia-hibernate.service
* Interlaced modes are now disabled when active stereo is enabled.
* NVIDIA X Server Settings will now display the quit confirmation
dialog automatically if only there are pending changes that need
to be manually saved. The corresponding configuration option to
control the appearance of the quit dialog was thus also removed.
* Removed the warning message about mismatches between the
compiler used to build the Linux kernel and the compiler used
to build the NVIDIA kernel modules from nvidia-installer.
Modern compilers are less likely to cause problems when this
type of mismatch occurs, and it has become common in many
distributions to build the Linux kernel with a different
compiler than the default system compiler.
* Updated nvidia-installer to skip test-loading the kernel
modules on systems where no supported NVIDIA GPUs are detected.
* Updated nvidia-installer to avoid a race condition which could
cause the kernel module test load to fail due to udev
automatically loading kernel modules left over from an existing
NVIDIA driver installation. This failure resulted in an
installation error message "Kernel module load error:
File exists".
* Updated the RTD3 Video Memory Utilization Threshold
(NVreg_DynamicPowerManagementVideoMemoryThreshold) maximum value
from 200 MB to 1024 MB.
* Improved performance of GLX and Vulkan applications running
in gamescope.
* Added a "kernelopen" feature tag to the supported-gpus.json
file, to indicate which GPUs are compatible with
open-gpu-kernel-modules.
* Improved Vulkan swapchain creation failure reporting.
Applications can use the VK_EXT_debug_utils extension to
receive additional information when an error was encountered
in vkCreateSwapchainKHR().
* Added a new configuration option for NVIDIA NGX to allow
disabling the DSO signature check. See the "NGX" chapter of the
README for more information.
* Fixed an issue where HDMI audio output was not working in some
cases, especially with high display refresh rates (120Hz,
100Hz, etc.) using Fixed Rate Link (FRL) transmission mode.

NVIDIA RTX A4000H
NVIDIA RTX A5500
* Fixed a bug that could cause displays with HDMI or DisplayPort
audio to be deselected as the default audio output device after
resuming from suspend.
* Fixed a regression that could cause OpenGL applications to hang
or render incorrectly after suspend/resume cycles or VT-switches
* Fixed a bug, introduced in 495.29.05, that caused GPU "Model:"
in /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/<Bus:Device.Function>/information to
be "Unknown" for some GPUs.
* Fixed a bug that caused the nvidia-settings control panel to
print spurious error messages
* Fixed a bug that could prevent nvidia-installer from detecting
the scripts/sign-file kernel module signing tool when using
separate kernel source and output directories.
* Fixed a bug which prevented kernel modules linked from
precompiled kernel interface object files from being loaded on
recent Linux kernels. This affected custom packages which were
prepared with nvidia-installer's --add-this-kernel option,
for example.

generate excessive traffic over dbus while attempting to
communicate with nvidia-powerd, even though nvidia-powerd was
not running.
* Removed the runtime loader (rtld) sanity test from
nvidia-installer.This test has been made largely obsolete
by GLVND.
* Updated nvidia-xconfig to add a BusID to the "Device" section
by default on systems with both NVIDIA and non-NVIDIA GPUs.
This behavior can be suppressed by using the --no-busid option.
* Enabled GSP Firmware by default on NVIDIA T4, A100, A30, A40,
A16, A2, and several other Tesla products. Please see the
"GSP Firmware" chapter in the README for details.
* Fixed a bug in the Vulkan driver where some Ray Tracing
shaders would timeout, resulting in device loss.
* Fixed a bug in the Vulkan driver where unused input
attributes to a vertex shader would corrupt the interpolation
qualifiers for the shader.

* Added support for the VK_KHR_present_wait extension.
* Added support for the VK_KHR_shader_subgroup_uniform_control_flow
extension.
* Fixed a bug where VK_NVX_binary_import was advertised as supported
on unsupported platforms. This caused calls to vkCreateDevice to
fail if applications attempted to enable VK_NVX_binary_import
on such platforms.
* Added support for the GBM API. This adds the new symlink
nvidia-drm_gbm.so pointing to the file
libnvidia-allocator.so.VERSION to implement a GBM backend driver
usable with the GBM loader from the Mesa project version 21.2 and
above, as well as the files libnvidia-egl-gbm.so.1.1.0 and

functionality is now provided by other driver libraries.
* Changed the minimum required Linux kernel version from 2.6.32
to 3.10.
* Updated nvidia.ko to load even if no supported NVIDIA GPUs
are present when an NVIDIA NVSwitch device is detected in the
system. Previously, nvidia.ko would fail to load into the
kernel if no supported GPUs were present.
* Added support for Vulkan 1.3.
* Added a new daemon, nvidia-powerd, to provide support for the
Dynamic Boost feature on supported systems. Dynamic Boost
balances power between the CPU and the GPU for improved
performance. For more details, see the "Dynamic Boost on Linux"
chapter in the README.
* Updated nvidia-bug-report.sh to search the systemd journal for
nvidia-powerd logs.

* Added support for the following GPUs:
GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

* Updated the nvidia-settings command line interface to confirm
successful assignment of string attributes. This makes the
behavior more consistent with other types of attribute
assignments.
* Fixed a bug that could cause flickering in Blender and Steam
when running on Xwayland.
* Fixed a bug that caused GTK+3 applications using the GtkGLArea
class to crash when running on Xwayland.
* Added a workaround for DOOM Eternal, which avoids an
application bug where Vulkan swapchain recreation events are
not properly handled. On desktops like GNOME where the window
is initially redirected to the compositor, this may prevent
the game from flipping (and thus enabling G-SYNC).
* Added a workaround for Far Cry 5 when run through DXVK, which
avoids a shader race condition bug that was previously exposed
by new compiler optimizations.
* Increased the maximum limit on concurrent OpenGL contexts. This
limit was previously constrained by a fixed-size internal driver
resource, and is now constrained by available system memory.
* Applications that exceed the maximum limit on concurrent
OpenGL contexts will now receive a BadAlloc X error rather than
crashing.
* Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to crash upon shutdown
with some configurations using GPU screens.
* Fixed a bug that could cause rendering errors when displaying
scaled MetaModes using the "Nearest" resampling method.
* Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL applications run in PID
namespaces to hang upon exit, generating warnings such as the
following in the X log: (WW) NVIDIA: Wait for channel idle timed
out.
* Added support for PRIME Display Offload where both the display
offload source and display offload sink are driven by the
NVIDIA X Driver.
* Added support for PRIME Display Offload where the display
offload source is AMDGPU.
* Fixed a bug that could prevent the driver from applying
application profiles when running applications through Proton
or Wine on a PRIME Render Offload configuration.
* Fixed a bug that could cause NvFBC's "direct capture" to crash
the X server when certain GLX calls are made during a capture.
* Removed usage of the sysctl(2) system call as a fallback for
procfs in nvidia-installer. This system call has been deprecated
since Linux 2.6.24, and has been removed completely with recent
versions of Linux and glibc.
* Added an NVIDIA NGX build for use with Proton and Wine. A new
library, nvngx.dll, has been added to enable driver-side support
for running Windows applications which make use of DLSS. Changes
to Proton, Wine, and other third-party software are needed for
this feature.
* Added support for VK_QUEUE_GLOBAL_PRIORITY_REALTIME_EXT from
the VK_EXT_global_priority extension. This enables support for
asynchronous reprojection in SteamVR.
VK_QUEUE_GLOBAL_PRIORITY_REALTIME_EXT is supported on
Pascal GPUs and newer.
Global priorities other than VK_QUEUE_GLOBAL_PRIORITY_MEDIUM_EXT
require root privileges or the CAP_SYS_NICE capability.
* Added support for the VK_EXT_global_priority_query extension.
* Added the nvidia-peermem.ko kernel module. This module provides
Mellanox InfiniBand HCAs (Host Channel Adapters) direct
peer-to-peer access access to NVIDIA GPU memory without need
without needing to copy data to to host memory.
See the chapter "GPUDirect RDMA Peer Memory Client" in the
README for details.

* Added support for the VK_EXT_ycbcr_2plane_444_formats extension.
* Added support for the VK_NV_inherited_viewport_scissor extension.
* NvFBC's "direct capture" mode no longer causes flipping to be
disabled for applications being captured. G-SYNC can now also be
used simultaneously with NvFBC direct capture.
* Deprecated NvIFROpenGL support.Release 470 will be the last to
support this functionality.NvIFROpenGL header files, samples and
documentation were removed from the NVIDIA Capture SDK 7.1.9
release.Future drivers will remove libnvidia-ifr.so and any other
reference to NvIFROpenGL.
For details please see:
https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk
* Fixed a bug that prevented Vulkan direct-to-display from working
when DRM KMS is enabled.
* Enabled the NVIDIA driver, by default, to attempt to initialize
SLI when using GPUs with different amounts of video memory.
Previously, this was only available when bit 1 was set in the
"Coolbits" X config option.
* Updated GPU fan control to be available by default in
nvidia-settings and NV-CONTROL, for GPU boards that support
programmable fan control. Previously, this was only available
when bit 2 was set in the "Coolbits" X config option.
* Fixed an issue where vkCreate{Graphics,Compute}Pipeline would
sometimes crash when the shaders contained resources with
no set/binding.
* Fixed a memory fault in the Vulkan driver when using some
smaller dimensions of sparse images.
* Fixed an issue with vkCmdSetViewport when firstViewport is
non-zero.
* Fixed handling of
VK_DESCRIPTOR_BINDING_VARIABLE_DESCRIPTOR_COUNT_BIT for
variable size descriptor bindings.

GPU initialization and management tasks on some GPUs. See the
"GSP Firmware" chapter in the README for more information.
* Worked around a bug in Meson builds of libglvnd 1.3.0 that
caused the nvidia_icd.json file to be installed in the wrong
location.

rotation for disabled CRTCs.
* Improved the NVIDIA VDPAU implementation of
VdpVideoSurfaceGetBitsYCbCr and VdpVideoSurfacePutBitsYCbCr when
using planar or semi-planar formats. This helps applications
that transfer data between VDPAU video surfaces and system
memory.
* Added initial experimental support for S0ix-based system
suspend (suspend-to-idle). This feature is platform and GPU
dependent, so the feature will be disabled by default. To
enable this feature, refer to the 'powermanagement' section
of the README.
* Fixed an issue where Vulkan applications would fail to
initialize if the connected X11 Server did not expose support
for GLX.
* Improved the memory allocation strategy in nvidia-modeset.ko
to reduce the likelihood of out-of-memory errors, which

* Updated Base Mosaic support on GeForce to allow a maximum of
five simultaneous displays, rather than three.
* Fixed several synchronization bugs that could momentarily
lock up the X server when moving/resizing/focusing OpenGL
and Vulkan windows when PRIME Sync was enabled.
* Added NVIDIA VDPAU driver support for decoding VP9 10- and
12-bit bitstreams.Note that VDPAU's presentation pipeline and
OpenGL-VDPAU interop does not support 10- and 12-bit video
surfaces yet. See the "VDPAU Support" appendix in the README
for supported decoder profiles.
* Fixed a bug that could cause dual-link DVI to be driven over
a connector that only supports single-link DVI, when
"NoMaxPClkCheck" is specified in the "ModeValidation"
X configuration option. Note this fix may cause behavioral
changes for configurations using this option.
* Fixed a bug where glGetGraphicsResetStatusARB would incorrectly
return GL_PURGED_CONTEXT_RESET_NV immediately after application
start-up if the system had previously been suspended.
* Fixed a regression that allowed displays to enter DPMS mode
even when DPMS is disabled in the X server settings.
* Updated nvidia-settings to allow continued interaction with

- Update to 455.23.04

* Added support for the following GPUs:
GeForce RTX 3080
GeForce RTX 3090
GeForce MX450
* Fixed a bug that prevented 8K displays from being used in
portrait orientation on Pascal and earlier GPUs.
* Fixed a bug which caused excessive CPU usage in Vulkan
applications which create a large number of VkFence objects.
This was particularly prevalent in the Steam Play title
Red Dead Redemption 2.
* Added support for a new device-local VkMemoryType which is
host-coherent and host-visible. This may result in improved
performance in some applications. Applications which are
known to benefit from this new VkMemoryType include:
DXVK Title DiRT Rally 2.0, Steam Play Title DOOM: Eternal,
and DXVK title World of Warcraft.
* Fixed a bug that caused WebKit-based applications to crash
when running on Wayland.
* Fixed a bug that led to display corruption at some
resolutions when using an NVIDIA-driven display as a PRIME
Display Offload sink.
* Fixed a bug in a SPIR-V optimization that may cause
conditional blocks to not execute.
* Fixed a bug where calls to vkGetRandROutputDisplayEXT
with unexpected inputs would generate X11 protocol errors.
(https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49407)
* Fixed a small memory leak during exit of the
NVIDIA EGL driver.
* Implemented support for the NVIDIA NGX Updater. See the
"NGX" chapter in the README for information on how to
configure this feature.
* Removed support for the SLI modes "SFR", "AFR", and "AA".
SLI Mosaic, Base Mosaic, GL_NV_gpu_multicast, and
GLX_NV_multigpu_context are still supported.
* Updated Base Mosaic support on GeForce to allow a maximum
of five simultaneous displays, rather than three.
* Fixed several synchronization bugs that could momentarily
lock up the X server when moving/resizing/focusing OpenGL
and Vulkan windows when PRIME Sync was enabled.
* Added NVIDIA VDPAU driver support for decoding VP9 10- and
12-bit bitstreams. Note that VDPAU's presentation pipeline
and OpenGL-VDPAU interop does not support 10- and 12-bit
video surfaces yet. See the "VDPAU Support" appendix in the
README for supported decoder profiles.
* Fixed a bug that could cause dual-link DVI to be driven over
a connector that only supports single-link DVI, when
"NoMaxPClkCheck" is specified in the "ModeValidation"
X configuration option. Note this fix may cause behavioral
changes for configurations using this option.
* Fixed a regression that allowed displays to enter DPMS mode
even when DPMS is disabled in the X server settings.
* Updated nvidia-settings to allow continued interaction with
other pages and help content while editing application
profiles.

------------------------------------------------------------------

displays which are connected via DisplayPort
Multi-Stream Transport (DP-MST).
* Added a new documentation file, supported-gpus.json, which
exposes a machine-readable list of supported GPUs and features.
* Added an implementation of glNamedBufferPageCommitmentARB,
which was missing from the NVIDIA driver's support for the
GL_ARB_sparse_buffer extension.
* Fixed a bug that could cause a KDE Plasma session to crash
when running under Wayland.
* Fixed a bug that could cause some Swap Group configurations
to present at half of the display refresh rate.
* Added a new Connector-N display connector name alias type,
with a unique alias assigned to each physical display
connector on a GPU. See the README for more information.
* Fixed a bug that prevented X11 EGL displays from being
reinitialized.
* The 450 driver series is the last that supports
NvFBC's NVFBC_CAPTURE_TO_HW_ENCODER capture interface,
which has been deprecated since NVIDIA Capture SDK 6.0
released in 2017. Future NVIDIA drivers after the 450 series
will return NVFBC_ERR_UNSUPPORTED if that capture interface
is requested. The recommended way to encode captured frames
with NVENC is by using the NVIDIA Video Codec SDK.
See: https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk
* Implemented support for NVIDIA NGX. A new library,
libnvidia-ngx.so, has been added to support the new
functionality. This new library is needed by applications
which link against any of the following SDKs:

NVIDIA DLSS SDK
NVIDIA NGX SDK
* Fixed a bug which caused Vulkan applications to leak file
descriptors when destroying Vulkan instances.
* Added a fallback presentation path for PRIME Render Offload
configurations where the DRI3 and/or Present extension are
unavailable.

compositing is disabled
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353983)
* Improved Vulkan device enumeration under an X.Org X server
environment. See the "Known Issues" in the README for more
information.
* Fixed a visual glitch of Vulkan applications when they stop
flipping due to a window change, such as when alt-tab is
used to change window focus.
* Fixed a bug where XGetImage requests would return stale data
for flipping Vulkan applications. In particular, this fixes
screen-scraping tools such as VNC and import.
* Removed libnvidia-fatbinaryloader.so from the driver package.
This functionality is now built into other driver libraries.
* Extended the dynamic runtime power management support in the
NVIDIA driver to shut off power to video memory under certain
conditions. See the chapter titled "PCI-Express Runtime D3
(RTD3) Power Management" in the README for more information.
* Added HEVC 10/12 bit "decode only" support to
the NVIDIA VDPAU driver. Note that VDPAU's presentation
pipeline and OpenGL-VDPAU interop does not support 10- and
12-bit video surfaces yet. See the "VDPAU Support" appendix
in the README for supported HEVC decoder profiles.
* Added support for Image Sharpening for OpenGL and Vulkan
applications
* Added new VdpYCbCrFormats VDP_YCBCR_FORMAT_Y_U_V_444_16,
VDP_YCBCR_FORMAT_P010 and VDP_YCBCR_FORMAT_P016 for accessing
16-bit surfaces via VdpVideoSurfaceGetBitsYCbCr() and
VdpVideoSurfacePutBitsYCbCr() in the NVIDIA VDPAU driver.
* Added support to create 16-bit video surfaces in
the NVIDIA VDPAU driver.
* Modified nvidia-persistenced and libnvidia-ml (NVML) to
use libtirpc for communication instead of relying on the
deprecated glibc RPC implementation.

option.
* Added support for PRIME Synchronization when using displays
driven by the x86-video-amdgpu driver as PRIME display
offload sinks.
* Added support for displays connected to NVIDIA GPUs to act
as PRIME display offload sinks, also known as "Reverse PRIME".
See the chapter titled "Offloading Graphics Display with
RandR 1.4" in the README for additional information.
* Removed 'libGL.la' libtool archive from the install package.
* Fixed a bug that caused a brief orange flash on some
platforms when a display mode is being set.
* Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to crash when
using large cursor images with PRIME display offloading.
* Fixed an interaction problem with 5.4 and newer Linux
kernels that caused a performance regression when allocating
system memory.
* Fixed a driver installation failure on Linux kernel 5.8 release
candidates, where the NVIDIA kernel module failed to build with
error "'struct mm_struct' has no member named 'mmap_sem'".
* Fixed a driver installation failure on Linux kernel 5.8 release
candidates, where the NVIDIA kernel module failed to build with
error "too many arguments to function '__vmalloc'".

the NVIDIA kernel modules from building correctly on systems
localized to a language other than English.
* Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to crash when running
applications using GLX indirect rendering.
* Updated the Module.symvers sanity check, which is part of the
NVIDIA kernel module build process, to accommodate the recent
addition of a new field in the Module.symvers file format. This
fixes the error "The Module.symvers file is missing [...]" seen
during driver installation or DKMS rebuilds with Linux 5.4 RC
kernels.
* Fixed kernel module build problems with Linux kernel 5.4.0
release candidates.
* Updated nvidia-bug-report.sh to collect information about
X server crashes from coredumpctl, when available.
* Updated the nvidia-drm kernel module for compatibility with

versions.
* Updated the confirmation dialog box that is displayed when
quitting the nvidia-settings control panel to report when
there are pending configuration changes which will be lost if
they are not applied or saved before quitting.
* Enabled parallel GLSL shader linking by default; i.e., allow
GL_ARB_parallel_shader_compile to work without first calling
glMaxShaderCompilerThreadsARB().
* Added support for HDMI 2.1 variable refresh rate (VRR)
G-SYNC Compatible monitors on supported GPUs.For more details,
see "Configuring Multiple Display Devices on One X Screen"
in the README.
* Added support for the GLX_NV_multigpu_context and
GL_NV_gpu_multicast extensions.For more details, see the
"Configuring SLI and Multi-GPU FrameRendering" chapter of the
README, and the extension specifications:
https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/extensions/NV/
GLX_NV_multigpu_context.txt
https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/extensions/NV/
NV_gpu_multicast.txt
* Fixed a bug that prevented Vulkan applications running on
systems configured for SLI. Vulkan applications can now run
while SLI is enabled; however, they will only be able to use
a single GPU.
* Simplified the nvidia-sleep.sh sample script to no longer
depend on unreliable detection of the current VT through
X server logs.
* Added EGL support for PRIME render offload. Please see the
PRIME Render Offload chapter in the README for configuration
details.
* Fixed a regression introduced in 435.19.02 that would cause
some applications which use the VK_KHR_DISPLAY extension to
result in a segmentation fault.
* Enabled HardDPMS by default. See the README entry on the
X configuration option "HardDPMS" for more information.
* Fixed a bug which caused corruption in the following
DXVK titles:

VK_EXT_memory_budget to not immediately update after
vkFreeMemory was called.
* Changed GPU clock management strategy to more quickly ramp
down clocks after a drop in GPU utilization.
* Added X configuration option, "SidebandSocketPath", which
controls the directory in which the X driver will create
a pathname UNIX domain socket used to communicate with the
NVIDIA OpenGL, Vulkan and VDPAU driver components.
* The X driver will now create a fallback pathname UNIX domain
socket in the directory specified by the "SidebandSocketPath"
option, or /var/run by default, which will be used by other
NVIDIA driver components if they are unable to connect to the
default abstract socket.This fixes a bug where graphics
applications run within a network namespace (which prevents
the use of abstract sockets) were unable to take advantage of
some driver features, such as G-Sync.
* Fall back to system memory when video memory is full for some
driver-internal allocations. This can help fix Xid 13 and
Xid 31 cases in Vulkan applications when video memory is full.
* Fixed a bug that could cause a blank screen on some
DisplayPort monitors when logging in to GNOME, if the
nvidia-drm kernel module parameter modeset=1 is specified.
* Fixed a bug that prevented NVIDIA GPUs from entering the
low-power D3 state when entering suspend-to-idle (s2idle).
Note that on some systems this may expose an existing timing
issue in the Linux kernel; see the "Known Issues and
Workarounds" section of the "Configuring Power Management
Support" chapter of the README for more details.

Sat 5 Oct 00:23:00 CET 2019 - bumblebee.obs@gmail.com

- Update to 435.21

* Fixed a bug that caused the X server to crash when using
HardDPMS with an NVIDIA-driven GPU Screen.
* Fixed a bug which caused the kernel to panic when exiting
a single X server when multiple X servers were active and in
an SLI configuration.
* Fixed a regression introduced in the 430.* series of releases
that caused a segmentation fault in libnvcuvid.so while using
Video Codec SDK APIs on certain graphics boards.
* Added initial experimental support for runtime D3 (RTD3) power
management on Turing notebook GPUs.
* Improved nvidia-bug-report.sh to collect runtime D3 (RTD3) power
management information.
* Improved nvidia-bug-report.sh to collect ACPI tables when the
acpidump tool is available.
* Added Vulkan and OpenGL+GLX support for PRIME render offload.
Please see the PRIME Render Offload chapter in the README for
system requirements and configuration details.
* Added support for changing Digital Vibrance in the display
controls section of nvidia-settings on Turing hardware.
* Fixed the cuvidParseVideoData API in the NVCUVID driver to
correctly propagate errors returned by the PFNVIDSEQUENCECALLBACK
callback function to the application.
* Fixed a bug that caused the NVIDIA X driver to behave incorrectly
or crash when a client queried Xinerama information on X servers
with a non-NVIDIA X screen as screen 0.
* Fixed the "Image Settings" options in the "OpenGL Settings" page
of nvidia-settings for Quadro GPUs. Previously, OpenGL rendering
on Quadro would behave as if the "High Quality" option were
selected regardless of the selection. Now, the setting will
default to "High Quality" for Quadro but selecting a lower option
will affect rendering accordingly. (Other GPUs are unchanged: the
default remains "Quality", but other options can be selected if
desired.)
* Fixed a bug that could cause Vulkan applications to generate
spurious warning messages about a missing NV-GLX extension.
* Removed the non-GLVND OpenGL libraries from the NVIDIA Linux
driver installation package. The GLVND OpenGL libraries were
introduced in release 361.16, and have been installed by default
since release 364.12, with the non-GLVND versions available as
an alternative via the "--no-glvnd-glx-client" and
"--no-glvnd-egl-client" installer options. As the non-GLVND
libraries are no longer included in the installation package,
these options will no longer have any effect.
* Fixed a bug that prevented nvidia-drm from marking preferred
modes properly when reporting display information via the
DRM-KMS API.
* Updated nvidia-installer to make compiler mismatches non-fatal
when adding precompiled kernel interfaces to an installer
package using the "--add-this-kernel" option, to be more
consistent with the behavior when installing without
precompiled interfaces.
* Fixed the NvEncodeAPI driver to correctly reject the encoding
of sequences with resolutions smaller than what the NVENC
supports.
* Fixed display color range handling on pre-Turing GPUs, such
that when limited color range is selected through the display

- Update to 435.17

* Fixed a bug which caused the kernel to panic when exiting a
single X server when multiple X servers were active and in an
SLI configuration.
* Fixed a regression introduced in the 430.* series of releases
that caused a segmentation fault in libnvcuvid.so while using
Video Codec SDK APIs on certain graphics boards.
* Added initial experimental support for runtime D3 (RTD3) power
management on Turing notebook GPUs.
* Improved nvidia-bug-report.sh to collect runtime D3 (RTD3)
power management information.
* Improved nvidia-bug-report.sh to collect ACPI tables when the
acpidump tool is available.
* Added Vulkan and OpenGL+GLX support for PRIME render offload.
Please see the PRIME Render Offload chapter in the README for
system requirements and configuration details.
* Added support for changing Digital Vibrance in the display
controls section of nvidia-settings on Turing hardware.
* Fixed the cuvidParseVideoData API in the NVCUVID driver to
correctly propagate errors returned by the
PFNVIDSEQUENCECALLBACK callback function to the application.
* Fixed a bug that caused the NVIDIA X driver to behave
incorrectly or crash when a client queried Xinerama
information on X servers with a non-NVIDIA X screen as
screen 0.
* Fixed the "Image Settings" options in the "OpenGL Settings"
page of nvidia-settings for Quadro GPUs. Previously, OpenGL
rendering on Quadro would behave as if the "High Quality"
option were selected regardless of the selection. Now, the
setting will default to "High Quality" for Quadro but
selecting a lower option will affect rendering accordingly.
(Other GPUs are unchanged: the default remains "Quality", but
other options can be selected if desired.)
* Fixed a bug that could cause Vulkan applications to generate
spurious warning messages about a missing NV-GLX extension.
* Removed the non-GLVND OpenGL libraries from the NVIDIA Linux
driver installation package. The GLVND OpenGL libraries were
introduced in release 361.16, and have been installed by default
since release 364.12, with the non-GLVND versions available as
an alternative via the "--no-glvnd-glx-client" and
"--no-glvnd-egl-client" installer options. As the non-GLVND
libraries are no longer included in the installation package,
these options will no longer have any effect.
* Fixed a bug that prevented nvidia-drm from marking preferred
modes properly when reporting display information via the
DRM-KMS API.
* Updated nvidia-installer to make compiler mismatches
non-fatal when adding precompiled kernel interfaces to an
installer package using the "--add-this-kernel" option, to be
more consistent with the behavior when installing without
precompiled interfaces.
* Fixed the NvEncodeAPI driver to correctly reject the encoding
of sequences with resolutions smaller than what the NVENC
supports.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri 4 Oct 22:57:00 CET 2019 - bumblebee.obs@gmail.com

- Update to 430.50

* Fixed display color range handling on pre-Turing GPUs,
such that when limited color range is selected through the
display controls page in nvidia-settings, output pixel values
will be correctly clamped to Consumer Technology Association
(CTA) range.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri 4 Oct 22:44:00 CET 2019 - bumblebee.obs@gmail.com

- Update to 430.40

* Added support for the following GPUs:
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER
Quadro RTX 3000 with Max-Q Design
* Fixed a driver installation failure in Linux kernel
configurations with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.
* Updated nvidia-bug-report.sh to search the systemd journal
for gdm-x-session logs.
* Added support to nvidia-installer for systems which provide
ncurses libraries supporting the ncurses widechar ABI only.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri 4 Oct 22:36:00 CET 2019 - bumblebee.obs@gmail.com

- Update to 430.34

* Added support for the following GPUs:

GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER
GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER
Quadro RTX 4000 with Max-Q Design
Quadro RTX 5000 with Max-Q Design

------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun 23 Jun 22:44:00 CET 2019 - bumblebee.obs@gmail.com

- Update to 430.26

* Added support for the following GPUs:

Quadro P520
Quadro RTX 3000
Quadro T1000
Quadro T2000

* Fixed a bug, introduced in 415.13, that caused audio over
DisplayPort to not work in some configurations.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun 23 Jun 22:18:00 CET 2019 - bumblebee.obs@gmail.com

- Update to 430.14

* Improved performance of the Vulkan title, DiRT4.
* Added support for presentation from queue families which only
expose VK_QUEUE_COMPUTE_BIT. This improves performance of
Steam Play title, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.
* Fixed a bug that could cause the display to be driven at a low
resolution when configuring PRIME display offloading with
`nvidia-xconfig --prime`.
* Added HEVC YUV 4:4:4 decode support to the NVIDIA VDPAU driver.
* Added the new per-decoder profile capability bit
VDP_DECODER_PROFILE_SUPPORTED_CHROMA_TYPES to the NVIDIA VDPAU
driver.
* Added new VdpYCbCrFormats VDP_YCBCR_FORMAT_Y_UV_444 and
VDP_YCBCR_FORMAT_Y_U_V_444 for accessing YUV 4:4:4 surfaces via
VdpVideoSurfaceGetBitsYCbCr() and VdpVideoSurfacePutBitsYCbCr()
in the NVIDIA VDPAU driver.
* Added support for creation of YUV 4:4:4 video surfaces in the
NVIDIA VDPAU driver.
* Raised the minimum supported X.Org xserver version to 1.7
(video driver ABI version 6).
* Updated the NVIDIA VDPAU driver to support allocating VDPAU
video surfaces with explicit field or frame picture structure.
* Added support for the GL_NV_vdpau_interop2 OpenGL extension,
which allows VDPAU/OpenGL surface sharing with explicit field
or frame picture structure. Picture structure selection by
applications can avoid the need for implicit surface structure
conversion by the OpenGL implementation.
* Updated nvidia-installer to avoid problems with commands whose
proper functionality may be dependent on system localization
(e.g. via the LANG environment variable.) For example, some
kernel configurations may produce unusable kernel modules if
LANG is set to a language other than English.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun 23 Jun 20:02:00 CET 2019 - bumblebee.obs@gmail.com

- Update to 430.09

GeForce GTX 1650
GeForce GTX 1650 with Max-Q Design
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti with Max-Q Design
* Fixed a bug that could cause the display to be driven at a low
resolution when configuring PRIME display offloading with
nvidia-xconfig --prime`.
* Added HEVC YUV 4:4:4 decode support to the NVIDIA VDPAU driver.
* Added the new per-decoder profile capability bit
VDP_DECODER_PROFILE_SUPPORTED_CHROMA_TYPES to the NVIDIA
VDPAU driver.

which allows VDPAU/OpenGL surface sharing with explicit field
or frame picture structure. Picture structure selection by
applications can avoid the need for implicit surface structure
conversion by the OpenGL implementation.
* Updated nvidia-installer for better compatibility with ncurses
when libncurses.so.6 exposes the ncurses reentrant ABI, such
as on openSUSE Leap 15 and SUSE Linux Enterprise 15.

outputting to a non-terminal in command-line mode.
From GitHub pull request:
https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-settings/pull/37
* Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to more accurately
reflect the current availability of G-SYNC or G-SYNC
compatible display settings.
* Fixed a bug which could sometimes cause Vulkan applications
to lock up the GPU when freeing large chunks of memory on
systems with PRIME enabled.
* Updated the driver to restrict use of the GPU performance
counters to system administrators by default. The previous
more permissive behavior can be restored by setting
NVreg_RestrictProfilingToAdminUsers=0 when loading nvidia.ko.

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
GeForce RTX 2070 with Max-Q Design
GeForce RTX 2080 with Max-Q Design
* Fixed a bug that would occasionally cause visual corruption
on some Vulkan titles. This bug was particularly prevalent
on DXVK titles.
* Fixed a bug that caused vkCmdPushConstants to generate Xid 13
messages when executed with VK_SHADER_STAGE_ALL on a compute
queue.
* Added initial support for G-SYNC Compatible monitors.See
the README for details.
* Added support for stereo presentation in Vulkan.
* Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL applications to crash
after repeated VT-switches.
* Fixed a bug that could sometimes prevent PRIME displays from
being selected in the display settings page of nvidia-settings.
* NVIDIA Video Codec SDK 9.0

A new release of the Video Codec SDK will be available
in Q1 2019. For more information and early access sign-up,
refer to https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk

The main features available in this release are listed below:
o Support for Turing NVENC/NVDEC.
o The NVDECODE API (also known as the NVCUVID API) has been
updated to support YUV 4:4:4 decoding for HEVC on Turing
GPUs.
o NvEncodeAPI has been updated to support HEVC B-frames on
Turing GPUs.
o NvEncodeAPI adds the capability to output the encoded
bitstream, and motion vectors from motion estimation-only
mode, to video memory. This avoids the overhead of copying
the output from system to video memory for processing
pipelines operating directly on video memory.
o NvEncodeAPI now accepts CUarrays as input buffers. The
SDK contains a sample application to demonstrate how to
feed a Vulkan image to NVENC using the Vulkan-CUDA interop.

* Added NVIDIA optical flow support.

A new library libnvidia-opticalflow.so is included in the
driver package. The NVIDIA optical flow library can be used
for hardware-accelerated computation of optical flow vectors and
stereo disparity values. The API header files, sample
applications and documentation will be available in a separate
Optical Flow SDK package in Q1 2019.

For more information and early access sign-up,
refer to https://developer.nvidia.com/opticalflow-sdk
* Removed libnvidia-wfb.so from the driver package.This module
was only used on X servers that did not provide their own
implementation of libwfb, and all X.Org xserver versions now
supported by the driver do so.
* Updated the VDPAU driver to reject decoding to YUV 4:2:2 video
surfaces.The NVIDIA VDPAU driver always produces YUV 4:2:0
content.Previously, the VDPAU driver implicitly converted a
YUV 4:2:2 video surface to YUV 4:2:0 during decode.Now, the
VDPAU driver will fail the decode request.
* Optimized nvidia-installer to only run depmod(1) once when
installing, rather than twice (once during the uninstall
phase and again when installing new kernel modules).
* Removed the NVreg_UseThreadedInterrupts kernel module
parameter from nvidia.ko. This removes the ability to forcibly
fall back to an older mechanism (tasklets) for running the
bottom-half interrupt handler. Instead, threaded IRQs (the
default since 367.44) are always used.
* Fixed a bug where destroying a direct-to-display swapchain
could crash Vulkan applications.
* Fixed a bug that prevented Vulkan applications from using
the VK_EXT_display_control extension on a display that is
driven by X.
* Improved nvidia-bug-report.sh to grab the output of the
`vulkaninfo` command when it is available.
* Fixed build failures which resulted in errors like "implicit
declaration of function drm_...", when building the NVIDIA DRM
kernel module for Linux kernel 5.0 release candidates.
* Fixed a bug that could prevent nvidia-xconfig from disabling
the X Composite extension on version 1.20 of the X.org X server.
* Fixed a build failure, "too many arguments to function
'get_user_pages'", when building the NVIDIA kernel module for
Linux kernel v4.4.168.
* Fixed a build failure, "implicit declaration of function
do_gettimeofday", when building the NVIDIA kernel module for
Linux kernel 5.0 release candidates.

* Fixed a bug that caused corruption on vkCmdCopyImage calls for
non-2D texture targets.
* Fixed a bug that caused mode switches to fail when an SDI output
board was connected.
* Fixed a bug that could cause rendering corruption in Vulkan
programs.
* Added a new hook script, "pre-unload", to the nvidia-installer
hook script system. This script, if present, will be executed
before nvidia-installer attempts to unload existing NVIDIA
kernel modules.
* Fixed a bug that caused vkGetPhysicalDeviceDisplayPropertiesKHR()
to occasionally return incorrect values for physicalResolution.
* Added the synchronization state for PRIME Displays to
nvidia-settings.
* Improved error reporting in eglSwapBuffers() by generating
codes for some missing error types, and adding additional
detail to the already existing ones.
* Improved the appearance and functionality of the nvidia-settings
control panel when it is resized to small sizes.
* Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to prevent some icons
from being displayed incorrectly while using some GTK+ themes.
* Fixed a bug that could cause WINE to crash on recent OS releases.
* Fixed a bug that could cause an X server crash when exiting
Vulkan applications running on X servers with UBB enabled.
* Fixed an X driver bug that caused the "NoEdidModes" token of
the "ModeValidation" X configuration option to reject non-EDID
modes whose timings matched EDID modes.
* Changed the NvEncCreateBitstreamBuffer API call in the
NvEncodeAPI library to return NV_ENC_ERR_UNIMPLEMENTED instead
of NV_ENC_SUCCESS when the encoder instance is configured to
run in motion estimation-only mode. As an indirect consequence
of this change, users running the AppEncME sample application
from the Video Codec SDK prior to SDK version 8.2.16 will observe
a segmentation fault due to bugs in the NvEncoder class. It is
recommended that users download the latest version of the SDK,
where these bugs have been fixed, from
https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk.
* Fixed an OpenGL driver bug that caused the upper bounds of
floating-point viewports, specified through the ARB_viewport_array
extension, to be clipped incorrectly.
* Added a new X configuration option "HardDPMS" which is disabled
by default, but can be enabled to put displays to sleep with
modesets rather than VESA DPMS. This may fix some displays that
fail to sleep when DPMS becomes active. "HardDPMS" will be
enabled by default in a future release.
* Raised the minimum supported X.Org xserver version to 1.5
(video driver ABI version 4).
* Enabled the NVreg_EnableBacklightHandler kernel module option
by default.
* Removed the LinuxThreads version of the /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so
library and replaced it with the NPTL one that was previously
installed in /usr/lib/tls/. This fixes crashes on Debian systems
when the /etc/ld.so.nohwcap file is present.
* Updated nvidia-installer to allow the --no-cc-version-check
option to disable the compiler version check when installing
with DKMS.
* Changed the minimum required Linux kernel version from 2.6.9
to 2.6.32.
* Fixed an OpenGL bug where conditional rendering
(NV_conditional_render) was incorrectly affecting mipmap
generation.
* Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to hang on systems
booted in legacy VGA mode when using a DisplayPort
Multi-Stream link.

* Added a graphics API visual indicator. It can be toggled through
nvidia-settings' "OpenGL Settings" panel, the
__GL_SHOW_GRAPHICS_OSD environment variable, or the
GLShowGraphicsOSD application profile.
See the README for more information.
* Added support for X11 RandR transformations on outputs where
the NVIDIA X driver is used as a synchronized RandR 1.4 output
source (i.e., "PRIME Sync").
* Fixed a bug that caused OpenGL corruption on outputs where
the NVIDIA X driver was used as an RandR 1.4 output source
(i.e., "PRIME"), and the output sink required a software cursor.
* Fixed an X driver RandR output source (i.e., "PRIME") bug that
could cause a duplicate cursor to appear on such outputs.
* Exposed EGL 1.5 in the EGL version string. This does not add
any extra functionality to the EGL driver. All EGL 1.5 features
were already supported through EGL 1.4 plus extensions.
* Added the OptiX ray tracing engine, libnvoptix.so.1, to the
driver package.
This library is loaded by the liboptix.so.* library bundled with
applications that use the OptiX API.
* Updated nvidia-installer to allow the --no-cc-version-check
option to disable the compiler version check when installing
with DKMS.
* Added experimental support for VK_EXT_global_priority.
* Removed support for the VK_NV_glsl_shader Vulkan extension.
This extension was added before the Vulkan ecosystem had mature
SPIR-V compilers and tools. Now that the SPIR-V compilers and
tools have advanced, Vulkan developers are encouraged to use
SPIR-V instead of GLSL.
* Fixed a bug that caused VDPAU-decoded H.265/HEVC content to have
interlaced artifacts when shared with OpenGL through the
GL_NV_vdpau_interop extension.
* Implemented support for Vulkan real-time ray tracing extensions
(VK_NV_raytracing). Two new libraries, libnvidia-rtcore.so and
libnvidia-cbl.so, have been added to support the new functionality.
These new libraries are needed by Vulkan at run-time to expose
the new extension. If they are not found, Vulkan will continue
to work without VK_NV_raytracing support.
* Removed OpenGL header files from the installer package, which
were deprecated and not installed by default since
release 260.19.04, but could still be installed with the
'--opengl-headers' option. If your distribution doesn't provide
a package with headers, up-to-date headers can be found at
these locations:
https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/index_gl.php
https://github.com/NVIDIA/libglvnd/tree/master/include/GL
* Added a USB-C connector type identifier, such that a display
connected using the USB-C connector that was previously
reported as e.g. DP-5 will now be USB-C-0. Scripts and
configuration files that use the DP identifier for this
connector will be affected.

* Updated nvidia-installer to allow the --no-cc-version-check
option to disable the compiler version check when installing
with DKMS.
* Added experimental support for VK_EXT_global_priority.
* Removed support for the VK_NV_glsl_shader Vulkan extension.
This extension was added before the Vulkan ecosystem had mature
SPIR-V compilers and tools. Now that the SPIR-V compilers and
tools have advanced, Vulkan developers are encouraged to use
SPIR-V instead of GLSL.
* Fixed a bug that caused VDPAU-decoded H.265/HEVC content to
have interlaced artifacts when shared with OpenGL through the
GL_NV_vdpau_interop extension.
* Implemented support for Vulkan real-time ray tracing extensions
(VK_NV_raytracing). Two new libraries, libnvidia-rtcore.so and
libnvidia-cbl.so, have been added to support the new
functionality. These new libraries are needed by Vulkan at
run-time to expose the new extension. If they are not found,
Vulkan will continue to work without VK_NV_raytracing support.
* Removed OpenGL header files from the installer package, which
were deprecated and not installed by default since release
260.19.04, but could still be installed with the
'--opengl-headers' option. If your distribution doesn't
provide a package with headers, up-to-date headers can be
found at these locations:

focused away (e.g., by using the alt-tab key combination) on
non-composited desktops.
* Increased the version numbers of the GLVND libGL, libGLESv1_CM,
libGLESv2, and libEGL libraries, to prevent concurrently installed
non-GLVND libraries from taking precedence in the dynamic linker
cache.
* Updated the OpenGL driver to allow the use of integer format
(SINT/UINT) color attachments with depth attachments in Frame Buffer Objects.

- Use the legacy GLX library

- Update to 396.24

* Added support for the following GPUs:
GeForce GTX 1050 with Max-Q Design
Quadro P3200
Quadro P4200
* Fixed a regression that caused the current MetaMode's
ViewPortIn and ViewPortOut settings to be preserved across
RandR modesets. The driver now clears ViewPortIn and
ViewPortOut when the mode is set through RandR, restoring
the behavior that existed prior to the regression.
* Improved error reporting in the Vulkan driver if
libnvidia-glvkspirv.so, the new Vulkan SPIR-V compiler added
in 396.24, cannot be found at run time.
* Fixed performance regressions and corruption issues in the
new Vulkan SPIR-V compiler.
* Added support for 32-bit PCI domains throughout the NVIDIA
driver stack. This support is required for running Linux VMs
with recent versions of the pci_hyperv driver on top of Hyper-V.
* Updated the SLI Mosaic configuration page in nvidia-settings
to make more layout configurations available, including
configurations that do not utilize all of the available displays.
* Added reporting of EGL information to nvidia-settings.
* Added support for a new Vulkan SPIR-V compiler which reduces
shader compilation time and shader system memory consumption.

A new environment variable can be used to enable (1) (default)
or disable (0) the new compiler if errors in existing
applications are found:

__GL_NextGenCompiler=<int>

The following application profile setting with the same
definition is also available:

{ "pattern" : [], "profile" : [ "NextGenCompiler", <int> ] }

The old compiler is deprecated and will be removed in a
future release.
* Updated nvidia-installer to recognize partial libglvnd
installations which are missing only optional libraries. This
allows the installer to continue installation by default when
libglvnd is installed without libOpenGL.so, as is frequently the
case with distribution-provided libglvnd installations.
* Improved performance of the following Vulkan APIs:
vkAllocateMemory()
vkBindBufferMemory()
vkBindImageMemory()
* Fixed a bug that caused the NV_CTRL_STEREO_SWAP_MODE setting
for quad-buffered stereo visuals to not be preserved across
modesets or VT switches.
* Added a new global X configuration option "AllowExternalGpus",
which defaults to disabled, but can be enabled to allow eGPUs and
other surprise-removable GPUs to be configured with X screens.
* Added support for X.Org xserver ABI 24 (xorg-server 1.20).
* Improved nvidia-bug-report.sh to check for kern.log which is the
default kernel log-file location for many Debian-based Linux
distributions.
* Fixed a bug which could cause X servers that export a Video
Driver ABI earlier than 0.8 to crash when running X11
applications which call XRenderAddTraps().

- Use the legacy GLX library

- Update to 390.48

* Added support for the following GPUs:
Quadro GV100
* Updated the driver to prevent G-SYNC from being enabled when
a Quadro Sync board is installed. G-SYNC and Quadro Sync were
always mutually incompatible features, and this change makes it
easier to use G-SYNC capable monitors on Quadro Sync configurations,
as it is now no longer necessary to manually disable G-SYNC.
* Further improved the fix for occasional flicker when using the
X driver's composition pipeline. This was mostly fixed in 390.42,
but now the fix should be more complete.
* Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
* Fixed a string concatenation bug that caused libGL to accidentally
try to create the directory "$HOME.nv" rather than "$HOME/.nv" in
some cases where /tmp isn't accessible.
* Increased the version numbers of the GLVND libGL, libGLESv1_CM,
libGLESv2, and libEGL libraries, to prevent concurrently installed
non-GLVND libraries from taking precedence in the dynamic
linker cache.
* Fixed a bug which could cause X servers that export
a Video Driver ABI earlier than 0.8 to crash when running X11
applications which call XRenderAddTraps().

from working normally when running multiple X screens with
emulated overlays.
* Fixed a regression introduced in 390.12 that caused occasional
hangs and hard lockup messages in the system log when screen
transformations are in use.
* Added new application profile settings, "EGLVisibleDGPUDevices"
and "EGLVisibleTegraDevices", to control which discrete and
Tegra GPU devices, respectively, may be enumerated by EGL.
See the "Application Profiles" appendix of the driver README
for more details.
* Corrected the SONAME of the copy of the libnvidia-egl-wayland
library included in the .run installer package to
libnvidia-egl-wayland.so.1. The SONAME had previously been
versioned incorrectly with the full version number of the
library.
* Updated nvidia.ko to veto the ACPI_VIDEO_NOTIFY_PROBE event
on kernels that allow the handler for this event to be
overridden, to improve interaction between the NVIDIA driver
and acpi_video on display hotplug events.
* Updated the SLI Mosaic layout page in the nvidia-settings
control panel to support topologies with up to 32 displays.
* Fixed a bug that prevented Xinerama Info from being handled
properly in SLI or Base Mosaic layouts with more than
24 displays.
* Updated the X driver's composition pipeline (used for
rotation, warp and blend, transformation matrices, etc) to
also support stereo.
* Added an OpenGL stereo preview feature to the screen page in
nvidia-settings.
* Fixed a bug where GetTexSubImage() would read incorrect data
into a pixel buffer object when supplied with a target of
GL_TEXTURE_1D_ARRAY and a non-zero yoffset value.
* Added support for generic active stereo with in-band
DisplayPort signaling. The X configuration option
"InbandStereoSignaling" is deprecated in favor of this stereo
mode. See "Appendix B. X Config Options" in the README for
more information.
* Modified the driver to avoid restoring framebuffer console
modes on virtual reality head-mounted displays.
* Fixed a bug which could cause X servers that export a Video
Driver ABI earlier than 0.8 to crash when running X11
applications which call XRenderAddTraps().

through the 'ResamplingMethod' MetaMode token.
* Fixed a bug where nvidia-installer would install a wrong
version of the Vulkan ICD configuration file when GLVND is
disabled for the GLX client.
* Fix a bug with GLX_EXT_buffer_age where incorrect buffer age
values would be reported for SLI AFR configurations. In such
configurations buffer age may now be greater than 3,
the previous maximum buffer age.

These optimizations will self-disable when they are degrading
performance. As a result, performance should be unchanged for
many applications, and increased for those that benefit from
threaded optimizations and were not already forcing them enabled.

- Use single DKMS instance for all the nVidia modules to
speedup installation

- Use the legacy GLX library

- Update to 375.26

* Added support for the following GPU(s):
Quadro M3000 SE
* Fixed a regression that prevented the backlight on some notebook
computer displays from turning back on after being shut off.
* Fixed a regression that prevented the console from being restored
properly when using SLI.
* Fixed a bug that caused installer manifest entries for some 32-bit
compatibility libraries to be duplicated in the installer package.
These entries led nvidia-installer to issue warning messages when
installing the 32-bit compatibility libraries, for example:
'Cannot create symlink /usr/lib/libEGL.so (File exists)'.
* Fixed a regression that could cause the nvidia-settings control
panel to crash on startup with certain GPU configurations.
* Fixed a regression that prevented the GLX_NV_swap_group extension
from working when using SLI or Quadro Sync.
* Fixed a long-standing bug that caused the NVIDIA X driver to not
correctly detect AC/battery hotplug events on notebooks.
* Fixed an interaction problem between the Linux kernel's
CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY feature (new in Linux kernel 4.8) and
nvidia-drm.ko with modeset=1 enabled. This problem caused
CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY to erroneously halt the system,
issuing reports of the form:

usercopy: kernel memory overwrite attempt detected to
ffff8803e8ec7ce0 (<process stack>) (8 bytes)

* Fixed a bug that prevented nvidia-bug-report.sh from finding
relevant messages in kernel log files.
* Added support for the screen_info.ext_lfb_base field, on kernels
that have it, in order to properly handle UEFI framebuffer
consoles with physical addresses above 4GB.

while DRM KMS was enabled.
* Changed the default OpenGL installation type to use the
GLVND GLX client libraries rather than the legacy non-GLVND
libraries.
* Added initial support for Direct Rendering Manager Kernel
Modesetting (DRM KMS).See the DRM KMS section of the README
for details.
* Added a new kernel module, nvidia-drm.ko, which registers as
a DRM driver with both PRIME and DRM KMS support.
* Added support for the following EGL extensions:

GPUs.On these GPUs, the RandR gamma ramp is always 1024 entries
and now applies to the cursor and VDPAU or workstation overlays
in addition to the X root window.
* Reworked how the NVIDIA driver registers with the Linux kernel's
DRM subsystem for PRIME support.As a result, PRIME support
requires Linux kernel version 3.13 or newer (previously, PRIME
support required Linux kernel version 3.10 or newer).

* Added a legacy, non-GLVND libGL.so GLX client library to the
NVIDIA Linux driver installer package, and the ability to
select between a GLVND or non-GLVND GLX client library at
installation time. This allows users to install the legacy
non-GLVND GLX client library in order to work around
compatibility issues which may arise due to GLX applications
which depend upon behaviors of the NVIDIA GLX client driver
which are not defined by the Linux OpenGL ABI version 1.0.

By default, nvidia-installer will install the legacy,
non-GLVND GLX client libraries. The --glvnd-glx-client
command line option can be used to override the default,
and install the GLVND GLX client libraries instead.
Please contact the vendors of any applications that are not
compatible with GLVND to ensure that their applications be
updated for compatibility with GLVND.

The presence of multiple GLX client libraries in the
package has implications for repackagers of the NVIDIA
driver; see the libGL.so entry in the "Installed Components"
chapter of the README for details.

The OpenGL Vendor-Neutral Driver (GLVND) infrastructure
is now included and supported by the NVIDIA GLX and OpenGL
drivers. This should not cause any visible changes in
behavior for end users, but some internal driver component
libraries have been renamed and/or moved as a result.
These changes may affect scripts that rely on the presence
of NVIDIA OpenGL driver components other than those specified
in the Linux OpenGL ABI version 1.0, maintainers of
alternative NVIDIA driver installation packages, and
applications which rely on the presence of any
non- OpenGL/GLX symbols in the libGL.so.1 library and
its dependencies in any way.

* Updated nvidia-installer to run ldconfig(8) and depmod(8)
after uninstalling an existing driver, instead of only
running these two commands when installing a new driver.
* Removed the VDPAU wrapper and trace libraries
libvdpau.so.1 and libvdpau_trace.so.1 from the driver package.
These libraries may be available via your distribution's package
management system, or can be compiled from the sources
available at:

than once. This triggers undefined behavior, and in particular,
if lock elision is enabled in glibc, may result in a segmentation
fault.

applications to hang in Xinerama layouts which include
multiple X screens that are driven by the same GPU.
* Added a fallback to allow GLX to function when UNIX domain
socket communication is blocked between NVIDIA client-side
GLX and NVIDIA server-side GLX. For example, the default
SELinux policy on Fedora 22 prevents the NVIDIA 358.09 GLX
driver from working in GDM3:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1271401

* Fixed a bug that could cause nvidia-installer to crash when
installing from a driver package that has had precompiled
kernel interfaces added to it (e.g., by using the
"--add-this-kernel" option).
* Fixed a regression from 358.09 that caused G-SYNC monitors
configured to use 3D Vision stereo to go blank and report
an unsupported signal.
* Fixed a regression from 358.09 that caused OpenGL
applications that failed to negotiate permission to perform
glXSwapBuffers via flipping to stop updating the screen.
This was triggered on Fedora 22 where the SELinux system policy
prevents gnome-shell from communicating with the X server.

Now, OpenGL applications that fail to negotiate flipping
will fall back to glXSwapBuffers via blitting.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1271401
for more details.

nvidia-modeset.ko does not provide any new user-visible
functionality or interfaces to third party applications.
However, in a later release, nvidia-modeset.ko will be used as
a basis for the modesetting interface provided by the kernel's
direct rendering manager (DRM).

* Reduced flickering and delays when transitioning into or out
of G-SYNC mode. As part of this change, monitors that have G-SYNC
indicators in their on-screen displays will now always report
that they are in G-SYNC mode. The OpenGL G-SYNC visual indicator
can be enabled in nvidia-settings to determine when G-SYNC is
actually being used.
* GLX protocol for the following OpenGL extension from OpenGL 3.0 has
been promoted from unofficial to ARB approved official status:

GL_EXT_draw_buffers2

GLX protocol for the following OpenGL 3.0 commands:

BindBufferRangeNV
BindBufferBaseNV
BeginTransformFeedbackNV
EndTransformFeedbackNV
GetTransformFeedbackVaryingEXT
TransformFeedbackVaryingsEXT
which are part of the following extensions:

GL_NV_transform_feedback
GL_EXT_transform_feedback

has been promoted from unofficial to ARB approved official status.

With the above changes, GLX protocol for OpenGL 3.0 has been
promoted from unofficial to ARB approved official status.

* Added a new system memory allocation mechanism for large
allocations in the OpenGL driver. This mechanism allows unmapping
the allocation from the process when it is not in use, making more
virtual address space available to the application. It is enabled
by default on 32 bit OpenGL applications with Linux 3.11+ and
glibc 2.19+. Memory allocated this way will consume space in
/dev/shm. Setting the environment variable
__GL_DevShmPageableAllocations to 2 will disable this feature
* Added support for OpenGL 4.3.
* Added support for X.Org xserver ABI 20 (xorg-server 1.18).

- Update to 358.09

* Fixed a regression that reduced OpenGL performance on
headless X server configurations.
* Fixed a memory leak that occurred after destroying a GLXWindow
which still has the current context attached to it.
* Fixed a bug which caused EGL pbuffers to be created with both
a front and back buffer, instead of a back buffer only,
as is required for EGL.
* Added a new kernel module, nvidia-modeset.ko. This new driver
component works in conjunction with the nvidia.ko kernel module
to program the display engine of the GPU.
nvidia-modeset.ko does not provide any new user-visible functionality
or interfaces to third party applications. However, in a later
release, nvidia-modeset.ko will be used as a basis for
the modesetting interface provided by the kernel's direct
rendering manager (DRM).

- Update to 355.11

* Added support for the following GPUs:
GeForce GTX 950
Quadro M4000
Quadro M5000
* Fixed a bug that caused applications using OpenCL or CUDA with
OpenGL interopability to crash when using GLX indirect rendering.
* Fixed a bug that caused VDPAU to only display the top half of
a video frame when decoding and displaying H.265/HEVC encoded
video streams.
* Fixed a bug that could cause GPU exceptions when using glReadPixels()
on the depth or stencil buffers of multisample windows while

overwrite data from the next lowest level, when creating a texture
view that did not include the higher of the two levels.
* Fixed a bug that could cause the nvidia-settings control panel to
crash when updating the display layout.
* Corrected some erroneous reporting of support for GLX extensions:

VDP_DECODER_PROFILE_H264_PROGRESSIVE_HIGH
VDP_DECODER_PROFILE_H264_CONSTRAINED_HIGH
* Fixed a bug that prevented more than one RandR output from sharing
user-added modes.
* Fixed a bug that caused application-specified swap intervals to be
ignored on some screens when using Xinerama.
* Fixed a bug that caused user-supplied RandR modes with nonsensical
combinations of the +HSync, -HSync, +VSync, and -VSync flags to
corrupt the mode list.
* Added support to make an OpenGL 3.0 and above context current
without making current to any drawable.

* Added experimental full OpenGL support to EGL.
* Marked the DeleteUnusedDP12Displays option as deprecated.

Version 1.5.0 of the X Resize and Rotate specification added a note
that dynamically-created outputs will not be destroyed, so this
option is deprecated and will be removed in a future driver release.
Added support for VDPAU profiles added in VDPAU 0.9:
VDP_DECODER_PROFILE_H264_BASELINE
VDP_DECODER_PROFILE_H264_CONSTRAINED_BASELINE
VDP_DECODER_PROFILE_H264_EXTENDED

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Aug 06 23:49:45 CEST 2015 - bumblebee.obs@gmail.com

- Update to 352.30

* Added support for the following GPU:
GeForce 910M
* Fixed a bug that caused poor video post-processing performance in
VDPAU when operating on a large number of video streams simultaneously.
* Fixed a bug that could cause an Xid error when terminating a video
playback application using the overlay presentation queue in VDPAU.
* Updated nvidia-installer to avoid recursing too deeply into kernel
source trees under /usr/lib/modules, mirroring an existing restriction
on recursion under /lib/modules.
* Fixed a rare deadlock condition when running applications that use
OpenGL in multiple threads on a Quadro GPU.
* Fixed a kernel memory leak that occurred when looping hardware -
accelerated video decoding with VDPAU on Maxwell-based GPUs.
* Fixed a bug that caused the X server to crash if a RandR 1.4 output
provided by a Sink Output provider was selected as the primary output
on X.Org xserver 1.17 and higher.
* Fixed a bug that caused waiting on X Sync Fence objects in OpenGL to
hang indefinitely in some cases.
* Fixed a bug that prevented OpenGL from properly recovering from hardware
errors or sync object waits that had timed out.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Aug 06 23:34:31 CEST 2015 - bumblebee.obs@gmail.com

- Update to 352.21

* Added support for the following GPUs:
GeForce 720A
GeForce 920A
GeForce 930A
GeForce 940A
GeForce GTX 950A
GeForce GTX 980 Ti
* Fixed a bug that caused the Display Configuration page of the
nvidia-settings control panel to automatically generate layouts with
multiple displays occupying the same position when enabling or disabling
Base Mosaic.
* Updated nvidia-settings to allow the use of the standard Display Configuration
page when SLI Mosaic is enabled.
* Fixed a bug that caused the kernel to report errors when unmapping DMA
allocations on kernels with CONFIG_DEBUG_DMA_API enabled.
* Added GLX Protocol support for the following OpenGL extensions:
GL_ARB_copy_buffer
GL_ARB_texture_buffer_object
* Fixed a bug that caused a kernel crash if SLI Mosaic and G-SYNC were used
at the same time on a configuration with more display devices connected
to one GPU than another.
* Added the ability to configure the swapping behavior for quad-buffered
stereo visuals. The driver can be configured to independently swap each
eye as it becomes ready, to wait for both eyes to complete rendering before
swapping, or to allow applications to specify which of these two behaviors
is preferred by setting the swap interval. This setting can be adjusted in
the nvidia-settings control panel, or via the NV-CONTROL API.
* Fixed a regression which caused the GPU fan status display to disappear from
the nvidia-settings control panel.
* Added reporting of ECC error counts to the nvidia-settings control panel.
* Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented OpenGL sampler objects from being properly
deallocated when destroying OpenGL contexts.
* Fixed a bug that caused GLX_EXT_framebuffer_sRGB to incorrectly report sRGB
support in 30 bit-per-pixel framebuffer configurations.
* Added support for G-SYNC with sync-to-vblank disabled. This allows applications
to use G-SYNC to eliminate tearing for frame rates below the monitor's maximum
refresh rate but allow tearing above the maximum refresh rate in order to
minimize latency.

When G-SYNC is active and sync-to-vblank is enabled, the frame rate is limited
to the monitor's maximum refresh rate.

* GLSL gl_Fog.scale is now +infinity when gl_Fog.end equals gl_Fog.start.
Previously, the value 0 was used, but this broke certain applications such
as the game XIII running on Wine (Wine bug #37068).
* Enabled G-SYNC by default when Unified Back Buffer (UBB) is disabled.
* Updated the NVIDIA GPU driver to avoid using video memory already in use
by vesafb.
* Fixed a bug in nvidia-settings that caused the application to crash when
saving the EDID to a file.
* Fixed a bug that prevented the "mkprecompiled" utility included in the
driver package from reading files correctly.
* Fixed a bug that could cause an Xid error when terminating a video playback
application using the overlay presentation queue in VDPAU.
* Updated nvidia-installer to avoid recursing too deeply into kernel source
trees under /usr/lib/modules, mirroring an existing restriction on recursion
under /lib/modules.
* Fixed a rare deadlock condition when running applications that use OpenGL in
multiple threads on a Quadro GPU.
* Fixed a kernel memory leak that occurred when looping hardware- accelerated
video decoding with VDPAU on Maxwell-based GPUs.
* Fixed a bug that caused the X server to crash if a RandR 1.4 output provided

from the nvidia-settings control panel.
* Added reporting of ECC error counts to the nvidia-settings control panel.
* Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented OpenGL sampler objects from being
properly deallocated when destroying OpenGL contexts.
* Fixed a bug that caused GLX_EXT_framebuffer_sRGB to incorrectly report
sRGB support in 30 bit-per-pixel framebuffer configurations.
* Added support for G-SYNC with sync-to-vblank disabled. This allows
applications to use G-SYNC to eliminate tearing for frame rates below
the monitor's maximum refresh rate but allow tearing above the maximum
refresh rate in order to minimize latency.

When G-SYNC is active and sync-to-vblank is enabled, the frame rate is
limited to the monitor's maximum refresh rate.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Aug 06 22:50:01 CEST 2015 - bumblebee.obs@gmail.com

- Update to 349.16

* Added support for the following GPUs:
Quadro K1200
Quadro M6000
GeForce 920M
GeForce 930A
GeForce 930M
GeForce 940M
GeForce GTX 950M
GeForce GTX 960M
GeForce GTX TITAN X
* Added support for G-SYNC monitors when used together with
non-G-SYNC monitors. When G-SYNC is enabled, non-G-SYNC
monitors will display with tearing.
* Fixed a bug that caused nvidia-settings to crash when assigning
an attribute whose value is a display ID on a system with
multiple X screens.
* Updated the reporting of in-use video memory in the nvidia-settings
control panel to use the same accounting methods used in other tools
such as nvidia-smi. nvidia-settings was not taking some allocations
into account, e.g. framebuffer memory for the efifb console on UEFI
systems, causing discrepancies in the values reported by different tools.
* Removed the "EnableACPIHotkeys" X configuration option. This option
has been deprecated and disabled by default since driver version 346.35.
On modern Linux systems, display change hotkey events are delivered to
the desktop environment as key press events, and the desktop environment
handles the display change by issuing requests through the X Resize and
Rotate extension (RandR).
* Added support for lossless H.264/AVC video streams to VDPAU.
* Added support for VDPAU Feature Set F to the NVIDIA VDPAU driver.
GPUs with VDPAU Feature Set F are capable of hardware-accelerated
decoding of H.265/HEVC video streams.
* Fixed a bug that prevented GPU fan speed changes from getting reflected
in the text box on Thermal settings page.
* Added nvidia-settings commandline support to query the current and
targeted GPU fan speed.
* Added a checkbox to nvidia-settings to enable a visual indicator that
shows when G-SYNC is being used. This is helpful for displays that
don't indicate themselves whether they are operating in G-SYNC mode or
normal mode.

This setting can also be enabled by running the command line

nvidia-settings -a ShowGSYNCVisualIndicator=1

* Added support for the X.Org X server's "-background none" option. When
enabled, the NVIDIA driver will try to copy the framebuffer console's
contents out of /dev/fb0. If that cannot be done, then the screen is
cleared to black.
* Added support for YUV 4:2:0 compression to enable HDMI 2.0 4K@60Hz modes
when either the display or GPU is incapable of driving these modes in
RGB 4:4:4. See NoEdidHDMI2Check in the README for details.
* Fixed a bug that could cause multi-threaded applications to crash when
multiple threads used the EGL driver at the same time.
* Fixed a bug that caused Sync to VBlank to not work correctly with
XVideo applications in certain configurations.
* Fixed a bug that prevented the X driver from correctly interpreting
some X configuration options when a display device name was given
with a GPU UUID qualifier.
* Fixed Pixel Buffer Object operations when row length is less than width.
GL_[UN]PACK_ROW_LENGTH can be set to a value lower than the width of
the operation being carried out. The OpenGL specification allows for
this (the source or destination lines will be overlapping). Previously,
our implementation of Pixel Buffer Objects did not support this case and
would throw an error.
* Fixed a bug that caused corruption when switching display modes in some
applications that use transform feedback.
* Fixed a bug that caused texture corruption on framebuffer depth
attachments cleared using glClearTexImage().
* Fixed a bug that artificially limited the maximum pixel clock on
displays in some SLI Mosaic configurations.
* Fixed a kernel memory leak that occurred when looping hardware-accelerated
video decoding with VDPAU on Maxwell-based GPUs.

Quadro K2200M
GeForce GTX 965M
* Fixed a bug that could cause rendering corruption in GLX clients
using PBOs and/or VBOs when using GLX indirect rendering.
* Fixed a bug that caused Xinerama layouts which included X screens
with 'Option "UseDisplayDevice" "none"' to be represented incorrectly
in the nvidia-settings control panel.
* Fixed a bug that could cause glXSwapBuffer() to block for longer than
necessary in multi-threaded GLX applications using
the GLX_NV_delay_before_swap extension.
* Fixed a bug that caused OpenGL applications using
the NV_path_rendering extension to crash after a modeswitch event.
* Fixed a bug that caused DisplayPort audio to stop working after
monitors are hotplugged.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Feb 10 20:21:05 CEST 2015 - bumblebee.obs@gmail.com

* Added support for the following GPUs:
GeForce GTX 960
GeForce 800A
GeForce 800M
GeForce GTX 970M
GeForce GTX 980M
* Added support for X.Org xserver ABI 19 (xorg-server 1.17).
* Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
* Fixed a bug that prevented internal 4K panels on some laptops
from being driven at a sufficient bandwidth to support their
native resolutions.
* Fixed a regression that prevented the NVIDIA kernel module from
loading in some virtualized environments such as Amazon Web Services.
* Fixed a regression that caused displays to be detected incorrectly
on some notebook systems.
* Fixed a bug that could cause X to freeze when using Base Mosaic.
* Fixed a regression that prevented the NVIDIA X driver from recognizing
Base Mosaic layouts generated by the nvidia-settings control panel.
* Updated the NVIDIA X driver to reject frame packed interlaced
HDMI 3D modes during mode validation. These modes were being validated by
the driver, despite never having been supported.
* Fixed a bug that prevented the console from being restored after
forcefully terminating X, on some GPUs with multiple DisplayPort
monitors attached. This bug also subsequently prevented X from
being started following the failed console restoration.
* Updated the version of libvdpau shipped with the driver to 0.9.
This version honors the VDPAU_DRIVER_PATH environment variable and
fixes a race condition if multiple threads call VdpDeviceCreateX11
simultaneously. See

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/vdpau/2014-December/000274.html

for more information.

Please note that users are encouraged to use their distribution's
libvdpau packages rather than relying on the one shipped with the
NVIDIA graphics driver.
* Fixed a bug that caused the ACPI hotkey mask to be set incorrectly
on some laptops even when the EnableACPIHotkeys option is disabled.
* Disabled the EnableACPIHotkeys option by default. This option is
now considered deprecated and will be removed in a future driver
release. On modern Linux systems, display change hotkey events are
delivered to the desktop environment as key press events, and the
desktop environment handles the display change by issuing requests
through the X Resize and Rotate extension (RandR).
* Fixed a bug that caused the screen image to be shifted when screen
transformations (such as rotations or reflections) were enabled on
a G-SYNC display attached to a Kepler-based GPU.
* Fixed a bug that caused a blank screen when setting a mode requiring
YUV 4:2:0 compression. These modes are not currently supported.
* Fixed a bug that caused an incorrect DisplayPort link configuration
to be displayed after a hotplug or unplug.
* Added support for decoding VP8 video streams using the NVCUVID API
on GPUs with VP8 hardware decode support.
* Added support for the following EGL extensions:
EGL_EXT_device_base
EGL_EXT_platform_device
EGL_EXT_output_base
* Added the ability to increase the operating voltage on certain
GeForce GPUs in the GeForce GTX 400 series and later. Voltage
adjustments are done at the user's own risk. See the documentation
on the "CoolBits" X configuration option in the README for details.
* Added support for NVENC on GeForce GPUs. For more details on the
NVENC SDK, see: https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk.
* Removed a sanity check in nvidia-installer that tested the
availability of POSIX shared memory. The NVIDIA GPU driver has not
required POSIX shared memory since release 270.xx.
* Removed the NVIDIA Unified Memory kernel module, nvidia-uvm.ko,
from the driver package on 32-bit architectures.
* Added accelerated support for r8g8b8a8, r8g8b8x8, b8g8r8a8 and
b8g8r8x8 RENDER formats.
* Updated nvidia-settings to take advantage of GTK+ 3, when available.
This is implemented by building the nvidia-settings user interface
into separate shared libraries (libnvidia-gtk2.so, libnvidia-gtk3.so),
and loading the correct one at run-time.
* Added the nvidia-settings option --gtk-library to allow specifying
the path of the directory containing the user interface library or
the path and filename of the specific library to use.
* Added support in nvidia-settings for a GTK+ 3 user interface
on x86 and x86_64.
* Added the nvidia-settings option --use-gtk2 to force the use of
the GTK+ 2 UI library.
* Updated nvidia-installer to install a file in the system's
xorg.conf.d directory, when a sufficiently new X server is detected,
to cause the X server to load the "nvidia" X driver automatically
if it is started after the NVIDIA kernel module is loaded.

This feature is supported in X.Org xserver 1.16 and higher when
running on Linux 3.9 or higher with CONFIG_DRM enabled.
Improved the performance of nvidia-installer by enabling the use
of parallel make when building the NVIDIA kernel modules.
The concurrency level can be set with the --concurrency-level
option, and defaults to the number of detected CPUs.
Updated nvidia-installer to determine default installation
locations for libraries based on the presence of known paths
in the ldconfig(8) cache and the filesystem, rather than
hardcoded distro-specific paths.
* Fixed a GLSL compiler bug that would produce corruption when
running games such as Far Cry 3 in Wine.
* Fixed the EGL_KHR_stream_cross_process_fd extension.
* Fixed rendering corruption that sometimes happened when calling
DrawElementsInstancedBaseVertexBaseInstance(),
DrawElementsInstancedBaseInstance(), or
DrawArraysInstancedBaseInstance().
* Dramatically improved OpenGL Framebuffer Object creation
performance.
* Removed the limit on the maximum number of
OpenGL Framebuffer Objects.
* Updated the NVIDIA OpenGL driver to prefer $XDG_CACHE_HOME over
$HOME as the default location for storing the GL shader disk cache.

* Added support for NVENC on GeForce GPUs. For more details on
the NVENC SDK, see:
https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk.
* Removed a sanity check in nvidia-installer that tested the availability
of POSIX shared memory. The NVIDIA GPU driver has not required POSIX
shared memory since release 270.xx.
* Added accelerated support for r8g8b8a8, r8g8b8x8, b8g8r8a8 and
b8g8r8x8 RENDER formats.
* Updated nvidia-settings to take advantage of GTK+ 3, when available.
This is implemented by building the nvidia-settings user interface into
separate shared libraries (libnvidia-gtk2.so, libnvidia-gtk3.so),
and loading the correct one at run-time.
* Added the nvidia-settings option --gtk-library to allow specifying
the path of the directory containing the user interface library or
the path and filename of the specific library to use.
* Added support in nvidia-settings for a GTK+ 3 user interface on
x86 and x86_64.
* Added the nvidia-settings option --use-gtk2 to force the use of
the GTK+ 2 UI library.
* Updated nvidia-installer to install a file in the system's xorg.conf.d
directory, when a sufficiently new X server is detected, to cause
the X server to load the "nvidia" X driver automatically if it is
started after the NVIDIA kernel module is loaded.
This feature is supported in X.Org xserver 1.16 and higher when running
on Linux 3.9 or higher with CONFIG_DRM enabled.
* Improved the performance of nvidia-installer by enabling the use of
parallel make when building the NVIDIA kernel modules. The concurrency level
can be set with the --concurrency-level option, and defaults to
the number of detected CPUs.
* Updated nvidia-installer to determine default installation locations
for libraries based on the presence of known paths in the ldconfig(8)
cache and the filesystem, rather than hardcoded distro-specific paths.
* Fixed a GLSL compiler bug that would produce corruption when running
games such as Far Cry 3 in Wine.
* Fixed the EGL_KHR_stream_cross_process_fd extension.
* Fixed rendering corruption that sometimes happened when calling
DrawElementsInstancedBaseVertexBaseInstance(),
DrawElementsInstancedBaseInstance(),
or DrawArraysInstancedBaseInstance().
* Dramatically improved OpenGL Framebuffer Object creation performance.
* Removed the limit on the maximum number of OpenGL Framebuffer Objects.
* Updated the NVIDIA OpenGL driver to prefer $XDG_CACHE_HOME over $HOME as
the default location for storing the GL shader disk cache.

to "domain:bus:device.function" to match the lspci format.
* Fixed a bug in the GLX_EXT_buffer_age extension where incorrect ages would be
returned unless triple buffering was enabled.
* Updated the NVIDIA X driver to load the NVIDIA kernel module using
`nvidia-modprobe`, rather than the XFree86 DDX helper function
xf86LoadKernelModule().
* Changed the driver's default behavior to stop deleting RandR 1.2 outputs
corresponding to unused DisplayPort 1.2 devices. Deleting these outputs can
confuse some applications. Added a new option, DeleteUnusedDP12Displays, which
can be used to turn this behavior back on.

This option can be enabled by running

sudo nvidia-xconfig --delete-unused-dp12-displays
* Improved support for the __GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE and

nvidia-settings --assign GPULogoBrightness=0
* Fixed a bug that prevented screen transformations from being applied
properly when starting X.
* GLX protocol for the following OpenGL extensions from OpenGL 2.1 and
OpenGL 3.0 have been promoted from unofficial to ARB approved official status:
GL_ARB_pixel_buffer_object
GL_NV_conditional_render
GL_ARB_map_buffer_range
GL_EXT_texture_integer
GL_ARB_vertex_array_object
GL_ARB_pixel_buffer_object was the last piece of protocol needed to have
official support for indirect rendering with all OpenGL 2.1 commands.

* GLX Protocol for the miscellaneous OpenGL 3.0 commands not associated with
specific extensions has also been promoted from unofficial to ARB approved status.
Deprecated display mask related configuration of display devices via NV-CONTROL
and nvidia-settings.Display target specifications should be used instead - A display
target is one of the display's valid names, with an optional GPU or X screen qualifier.
Deprecated the following NV-CONTROL attributes:
NV_CTRL_CONNECTED_DISPLAYS
NV_CTRL_ENABLED_DISPLAYS
NV_CTRL_ASSOCIATED_DISPLAYS
NV_CTRL_NOTEBOOK_INTERNAL_LCD
NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_MASTER
NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_SLAVES
NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_MASTERABLE
NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_SLAVEABLE
Also, although NV_CTRL_PROBE_DISPLAYS is still operational, the return value has
been deprecated and should not be used.

* Added deprecation warning messages in nvidia-settings when deprecated attributes
are used.This also includes display mask usage.

and optionally encode the composited framebuffer of an X screen.
NvFBC and NvIFR are private APIs that are only available to approved partners
for use in remote graphics scenarios. Please contact NVIDIA at
GRIDteam@nvidia.com for more information.
* Fixed a bug that prevented configuration files containing application profiles
from being loaded when directories were present in the application profile
configuration search path.
* Deferred initialization of libselinux in the NVIDIA OpenGL driver, in order to
avoid a problem where libselinux might not be ready when the NVIDIA
libGL shared library is first loaded.
* Fixed a bug that could lead to memory exhaustion in OpenGL applications
running on 32-bit systems.

Triangles for some RENDER operations to match the behavior in newer
versions of Pixman:
* http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pixman/2013-April/002755.html
* Fixed a bug in MetaMode tracking that could cause spurious error messages
to be printed when attempting to add or delete Metamodes via NV-CONTROL.
* Fixed a bug that caused the NVIDIA X driver to attempt to load the
X11 "shadow" module unconditionally, even in situations where the driver
had no need to use the module. This could result in the printing of
spurious error messages, on X servers where the module was not present.
* Fixed a bug that prevented display configuration changes made with
xvidtune(1) from working correctly.
* Fixed a bug that occasionally caused display corruption in GLX applications
while changing the display configuration.
* Fixed a bug that prevented glReadPixels from working correctly when reading
from Pixel Buffer Objects over indirect rendering, when the image width is
not a multiple of 4.
* Added a new NV-CONTROL attribute, NV_CTRL_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS, for
controlling backlight brightness.
* Fixed a bug that prevented nvidia-settings from creating display device
configuration pages for newly connected DisplayPort 1.2 Multi Stream
Transport downstream devices.
* Added GPU utilization reporting to the nvidia-settings control panel.
* Fixed a bug in the nvidia-settings control panel that prevented users from
configuring stereo, when stereo was not already configured.
* Added support for reporting the tachometer-measured fan speed on capable
graphics boards via nvidia-settings and the NV-CONTROL API. The preexisting
mechanism for reporting fan speed reports the speed of the fan as
programmed by the driver.
* For example, `nvidia-settings --query=[fan:0]/GPUCurrentFanSpeedRPM`.
* Fixed a regression that caused GPUs that do not support graphics to not
appear in nvidia-settings.
* Fixed a bug that caused DisplayPort 1.2 multi-stream devices to stop working
if they were unplugged and plugged back in while they were active in the
current MetaMode.
* Added support for multiple NVIDIA kernel modules. This feature allows users
to assign different GPUs in the system to different NVIDIA kernel modules,
potentially reducing the software overhead of coordinating access to multiple GPUs.
* Added support for the EGL API on 32-bit platforms. Currently, the
supported client APIs are OpenGL ES 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0, and the only
supported window system backend is X11.
* Add a new option, AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration, which allows the X server
to start even if no connected display devices are detected at startup.
This option can be enabled by running
"sudo nvidia-xconfig --allow-empty-initial-configuration"
* This option is useful in RandR 1.4 display offload configurations where
no display devices are connected to the NVIDIA GPU when the X server is
started, but might be connected later.
* Updated nvidia-installer to provide a scrollable text area for
displaying messages from the /usr/lib/nvidia/alternate-install-present and
/usr/lib/nvidia/alternate-install-available distro hook files. This allows
for longer messages to be provided in these files.
* Updated nvidia-installer to avoid recursing into the per-kernel "build" and
"source" directories when searching for conflicting kernel modules
in /lib/modules.
* Added a system memory cache to improve the performance of certain
X rendering operations that use software rendering fallbacks. The
X configuration option "SoftwareRenderCacheSize" may be used to configure
the size of the cache.
* Removed the "DynamicTwinView" X configuration option: dynamic
reconfiguration of displays is always possible, and can no longer
be disabled.
* Fixed a bug that caused nvidia-settings to display incorrect information
in its display configuration page when all displays on
an X screen were turned off.
* Updated nvidia-installer to only install the libraries libvdpau and
libvdpau_trace if an existing installation of libvdpau is not detected
on the system. This behavior can be overridden with
the --install-vdpau-wrapper and --no-install-vdpau-wrapper options.
* Future NVIDIA Linux installer packages will no longer include copies of
libvdpau or libvdpau_trace: VDPAU users are recommended to install these
libraries via other means, e.g. from packages provided by their
distributors, or by building them from the sources available
at: http://people.freedesktop.org/~aplattner/vdpau/

-------------------------------------------------------------------

- Update to 331.17

* Fixed a bug that prevented configuration files containing application
profiles from being loaded when directories were present in the
application profile configuration search path.
* Deferred initialization of libselinux in the NVIDIA OpenGL driver,
in order to avoid a problem where libselinux might not be ready
when the NVIDIA libGL shared library is first loaded.
* Fixed a bug that could lead to memory exhaustion in OpenGL
applications running on 32-bit systems.
* Added nvidia-uvm.ko, the NVIDIA Unified Memory kernel module,
to the NVIDIA Linux driver package. This kernel module provides
support for the new Unified Memory feature in an upcoming CUDA release.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Oct 4 22:32:26 CEST 2013 - bumblebee.obs@gmail.com

- Update to 331.13

* Fixed a bug that caused the X server to fail to initialize when
DisplayPort 1.2 monitors were assigned to separate X screens on
the same GPU.
* Fixed a bug that could cause a deadlock when forking from OpenGL programs
which use some malloc implementations, such as TCMalloc.
* Fixed a bug that prevented Warp & Blend settings from being retained
across display configuration changes.
* Fixed a bug that prevented some settings changes made via the
nvidia-settings command line interface from being reflected in the
nvidia-settings graphical user interface.
* Changed the clipping behavior of the NVIDIA X driver on Trapezoids and
Triangles for some RENDER operations to match the behavior in newer
versions of Pixman:

Sat Jul 20 14:45:02 CET 2013 - bumblebee.obs@gmail.com

- Update to 325.08

* Fixed a bug that could cause display flickering after
setting some scaling configurations.
* Fixed a bug that prevented the status bar on the
"PowerMizer" and "X Server XVideo Settings" pages in the
nvidia-settings control panel from being updated when settings
were changed by another NV-CONTROL client.
* Fixed a bug that could cause some UI elements to be duplicated
in the nvidia-settings control panel following a VT switch on
X server configurations with multiple NVIDIA X screens.
* Changed the default PCIe interrupt delivery method from
virtual-wire to MSI. Note that if the NVIDIA Linux driver fails to
initialize with an error indicating that it is not receiving interrupts,
MSI can be disabled by setting the module parameter "NVreg_EnableMSI=0" when
loading the NVIDIA kernel module.
* Removed support for Linux 2.4 kernels. The NVIDIA Linux driver now
requires Linux 2.6.9 or later.
* Fixed a bug that prevented the creation of a mode via RandR with the same
name as a previously created mode, even after the previous mode had been deleted.
* Fixed a bug in nvidia-settings that caused GTK+ theme colors to be ignored
for some UI elements.
* Fixed a bug that caused nvidia-settings to write hostname-based color
correction settings to the .nvidia-settings-rc configuration file,
even when the "Include X Display Names in the Config File" option was unset.
This could lead to a long delay when starting nvidia-settings, if a hostname
saved to the configuration file failed to resolve.
* Fixed a bug that exposed edge overlap controls on the SLI Mosaic page of
nvidia-settings on edges where overlap was impossible.
* Fixed a bug that caused some settings in the nvidia-settings control panel to
be reset when reprobing displays.
* Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL applications that use
Frame Buffer Objects (FBOs) to crash following a mode switch
(e.g. changing the resolution of a display or transforming it).
* Fixed a memory leak that could be triggered by unloading libGL before
destroying all GLX contexts.
* Fixed a bug that could cause color correction settings to be applied to
the wrong display when multiple displays are unplugged and then plugged
back in again.
* Fixed a bug that could cause a spurious error message about a missing
NV-GLX extension when performing indirect rendering from a GLX client with
the NVIDIA client-side OpenGL libraries to a non-NVIDIA GLX server.
* Fixed an OpenGL bug that prevented conditional rendering from the
NV_conditional_render extension from correctly affecting CopyPixels.
* Improved the rendering performance of complex gradients.
* Added support for configuring SLI Mosaic and Base Mosaic in the
"X Server Display Configuration" page of nvidia-settings.
* Updated nvidia-installer to look for the following files:

/usr/lib/nvidia/alternate-install-available
/usr/lib/nvidia/alternate-install-present

* These files may be provided by NVIDIA driver installers other than the
official .run package maintained by NVIDIA, to alert nvidia-installer
to the presence or availability of an alternative installation method.
See the nvidia-installer(1) manual page for more information.
* Fixed an X driver bug where the RandR CRTC panning area and tracking area
were not getting clamped to the current X screen size when the RandR CRTC
transitioned from disabled to enabled.
* Fixed an X driver bug where successful RandR X_RRSetScreenConfig requests
would update the server's RandR 'lastSetTime' too far, potentially causing
subsequent RandR requests to be unnecessarily rejected.
* Fixed an X driver bug that caused GPUs to become inaccessible via the
NV-CONTROL X extension when no corresponding X screens could be initialized.
* Generate a BadMatch error when applications attempt to create GLX pixmaps
using glXCreatePixmap() or glXCreateGLXPixmapWithConfigSGIX() and the pixmap's
depth doesn't match that of the specified GLXFBConfig.
* Updated nvidia-settings to explicitly specify the direction of rotation for
configuring per-display rotation configuration.
* Honor a GPU UUID as the GPU qualifier for X configuration options that allow
GPU qualifiers (e.g. "MetaModes").
* Report GPU UUIDs in the X log when verbose logging is enabled in the X server.
* Enabled conformant glBlitFrameBuffer() scissor test behavior by default.
A driver-provided application profile enables the previous non-conformant
behavior for applications that load libcogl, to work around a bug in older
versions of libcogl.
* Application profiles can be added to enable the non-conformant behavior
for other applications that depend upon it. See the "Known Issues" section of
the README for more details.
* Fixed a bug that caused the X server to crash when querying the current mode
of disabled displays.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Jul 20 14:32:54 CET 2013 - bumblebee.obs@gmail.com

- Update to 319.32

* Added support for the following GPU:

GeForce GTX 760
GeForce 720M

* Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to report more
detailed locking information.
* Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to crash after power-cycling
displays connected behind a DisplayPort 1.2 Multi-Stream Transport hub.
* Fixed a bug that could cause nvidia-settings to crash when switching
VTs after changing some settings.
* Updated the application profile syntax to allow for multiple patterns
within a single rule. See the README for details.
* Fixed a bug that caused OpenGL programs to crash when the
__GL_DOOM3 environment variable was set.
* Updated the NVIDIA driver to avoid calling fork(2) to execute the
nvidia-modprobe utility when not needed.
* Improved the error reporting of the nvidia-persistenced utility.
* Fixed a bug that could cause Altair HyperView to hang when rendering
animations with tensors.
* Fixed a performance regression in MEDINA 8.2.
* Fixed a bug that caused the OpenGL driver to hang sometimes when running
the SpeedTree Modeler application.
* Fixed a bug that could cause an OpenGL application to crash if it creates
and destroys multiple threads.
* Fixed a bug in nvidia-installer that could cause installation problems
when the value of the CC environment variable contained spaces,
e.g. CC="distcc gcc"
* Fixed a bug that caused corrupted window content in some cases when
moving GLX windows with antialiasing enabled.
* Fixed a bug that caused DisplayPort devices that failed link training
to be reported as connected rather than disconnected.
* Fixed a regression that could cause a DisplayPort device that was connected
to one connector to turn off when a DisplayPort device on a different
connector was connected or disconnected.
* On Kepler-based GPUs, improved the appearance of the tearing that occurs
when using RandR 1.4's Source Output capability.While tearing is still
expected, the tears should now appear as horizontal lines rather than
more noticeable checkerboard or triangular shapes.
* Added a "Prefer Consistent Performance" PowerMizer Mode to the
nvidia-settings control panel, available on Quadro boards that support
this feature.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri May 31 10:47:12 CET 2013 - bumblebee.obs@gmail.com

- Update to 319.23

* Added support for the following GPUs:
GeForce GTX 780
* Fixed a regression that could cause X to crash when querying GPU information
through NV-CONTROL on multi-GPU systems where some GPUs failed to be
initialized for X.
* Fixed a bug that could cause X to crash when using Vertex Buffer Objects (VBOs)
with indirect rendering.
* Fixed a bug that prevented some drop-down menus in nvidia-settings from
working correctly when using older versions of GTK+.
* Fixed RandR panning reporting when the current MetaMode is smaller than
the X screen.
* Fixed a regression that caused nvidia-installer to attempt post-processing of
non-installed files.
* Added the "ForceCompositionPipeline" and "ForceFullCompositionPipeline" MetaMode
options. See the README for details.
* Added support for HDMI 4K resolutions. Using a 4K resolution with an HDMI display
requires a Kepler or later GPU.
* Added support in VDPAU for 4k resolution MPEG-1/2 and H.264 video decoding,
up to 4032x4048 for MPEG-1/2 and 4032x4080 for H.264, and up to 65536 macroblocks for both.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri May 10 18:06:12 CET 2013 - bumblebee.obs@gmail.com

- Update to 319.17

* Added support for the following GPU:

GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST
GeForce GT 720M
GeForce GT 735M
GeForce GT 740M
GeForce GT 745M
GeForce GT 750M

* Fixed a regression that caused multiple BUG messages to be printed in
the kernel log on SMP systems.
* Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to crash when repeatedly
enabling and disabling displays.
* Updated nvidia-settings to preserve the relative positioning of displays when
changing from a layout where multiple displays are on the same X screen to
one where the same displays span multiple X screens.
* Fixed nvidia-settings to dlopen(3) "libvdpau.so.1", rather than "libvdpau.so".
* Added nvidia-persistenced, a daemon utility, to the driver package.
nvidia-persistenced can be installed to run on system startup or manually
run to allow the NVIDIA kernel module to keep persistent driver state allocated
when no other user-space NVIDIA driver components are running. This can improve
startup time for other user-space NVIDIA driver components.
* Fixed CVE-2013-0131: NVIDIA UNIX GPU Driver ARGB Cursor Buffer Overflow in
"NoScanout" Mode. This buffer overflow, which occurred when an X client
installed a large ARGB cursor on an X server running in NoScanout mode,
could cause a denial of service (e.g., an X server segmentation fault),
or could be exploited to achieve arbitrary code execution.

* For more details, see: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3290

* Added initial support for restoration of efifb consoles on UEFI systems where
the primary display is driven over VGA or TMDS (e.g. DVI, HDMI, or LVDS).
* Added support for the xorg.conf Monitor section options "Ignore", "Enable",
"Primary", and "Rotate".For example, to rotate a monitor identified by
a specific EDID hash, one could add the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf or
a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "DPY-EDID-ee6cecc0-fa46-0c33-94e0-274313f9e7eb"
Option "Rotate" "left"
EndSection

See the README and the xorg.conf(5) man page for more information.

* Added an Underscan feature in the nvidia-settings X Server Display
Configuration page which allows the configuration of an underscan border
around the ViewPortOut.This feature was formerly known as Overscan Compensation.
* Added support for application profiles to the NVIDIA client-side GLX
implementation. See the "Application Profiles" chapter of
the README for more information.
* Added support to nvidia-installer for crytographically signing the NVIDIA
kernel module. See the "Installing the NVIDIA Driver" chapter of
the README for more information.
* Added the "PanningTrackingArea" and "PanningBorder" MetaMode attributes.
* Added support for RandR 1.3 panning.
* Improved performance when the Accel option is disabled.
* Added initial support for RandR 1.4 Provider objects with the Source Output
capability, which can be used to render the desktop on an NVIDIA GPU and
display it on an output connected to a provider with the Sink Output
capability, such as an Intel integrated graphics device or a
DisplayLink USB-to-VGA adapter.See the README for details.
* Added nvidia-modprobe, a setuid root utility, to the driver package.
nvidia-modprobe can be used by user-space NVIDIA driver components to
make sure the NVIDIA kernel module is loaded and that the NVIDIA character
device files are present.When possible, it is recommended to use Linux
distribution native mechanisms for managing kernel module loading and
device file creation. This utility is provided as a fallback to work
out-of-the-box in a distribution-independent way.
* Updated the nvidia-settings command line interface to accept display
device names, as well as optional target qualifiers, e.g.

nvidia-settings -q [DVI-I-0]/RefreshRate
nvidia-settings -q [GPU-1.DVI_I-1]/RefreshRate

* Updated the nvidia-settings command line interface to no longer assume
the "X screen 0" target, when no target is specified in query and assign
operations.Instead, all valid targets of the attribute are processed.
* Fixed a memory leak that occurred when destroying a GLX window but
not its associated X window.
* Fixed a bug that could cause nvidia-installer to fail to delete directories
created as part of a previous installation.
* Updated nvidia-installer to report failures to remove installed files or
restore backed up files with a single warning message, instead of a separate
message for each individual failure.
* Improved the performance of modesets in cases where the mode timings remained
the same, but other parameters of the mode configuration, such as the
ViewPort or panning domain, changed.
* Fixed an issue with RENDER convolution filters.The driver will no longer
normalize filter kernels before accelerating them.
* Improved debuggability of the NVIDIA OpenGL libraries by including proper
stack unwinding information on all supported architectures.
* Updated the dkms.conf file and the makefile for the NVIDIA Linux kernel
module to allow DKMS installations on systems with separate source and
output directories.
* Fixed a bug that caused RENDER Pictures to be sampled incorrectly when
using nearest filtering in some cases.
* Added support for the RandR "Border" and "BorderDimensions" Output
properties, which can be used to configure the ViewPortOut of an RandR output.
This is functionally equivalent to the "ViewPortOut" MetaMode token.
* Fixed a bug where RRGetCrtcInfo could report incorrect size information
when an RandR output has a custom ViewPortIn.
* Further improve performance of some versions of HyperMesh with Quadro GPUs.
* Added a VDPAU page to the nvidia-settings control panel, to display
information about the decoding capabilities of VDPAU-capable GPUs.
* Added support for dynamic mode management through RandR, e.g. via
the --newmode, --rmmode, and --delmode options in xrandr(1).
* Increased the number of pages that are shareable across multiple processes
in the x86 build of libnvidia-glcore.so, by reducing its R_386_PC32
relocation count.
* Fixed a bug that caused XVideo applications to receive BadAlloc errors
after VT switches and mode switches that occurred while a composite
manager was running.
* Removed the X driver's support for "CursorShadow".
* Updated nvidia-installer to attempt unprelinking files whose checksums
do not match the checksums recorded at installation time.
* Switched .run package compression from gzip to xz.This provides
a higher level of compression.

- Update to 310.32

* Added support for the following GPUs:
GeForce GTX 680MX
Tesla K20Xm
* Fixed a bug when enabling framelock between displays connected to the same GPU
as other displays with different refresh rates, which caused the latter to be
incorrectly assigned to the framelock group.
* Updated the reporting of HDMI 3D framerates and pixel clocks to be more consistent
with how they are reported by HDMI 3D displays.

during modeswitches.
* Fixed a regression that could cause OpenGL applications to crash while compiling
shaders.
* Added a kernel module parameter, "NVreg_EnablePCIeGen3", which can be used to
enable PCIe gen 3 when possible. Note that on many systems where the NVIDIA driver
does not allow PCIe gen 3 by default, stability problems can be expected when this
option is enabled: users should do so at their own risk.
* Fixed a VDPAU bug that could cause the X server to hang when decoding some corrupted
video streams.
* Renamed VGX products to GRID products in the "Supported NVIDIA GPU Products" list.
* Added support for X.org xserver ABI 14 (xorg-server 1.14).
* Fixed a bug in nvidia-settings that could cause the wrong resolution to be set in
basic mode for setups based on one display per X screen.
* Fixed libnvidia-encode.so library dependency by linking it with libnvcuvid.so.1 instead
of libnvcuvid.so while creating it.
* Improved performance of OpenGL framebuffer object binds with Xinerama enabled
by 2000-3000% when the application's windows do not span screen boundaries.
* Fix performance issues when using some versions of HyperMesh with Quadro GPUs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Dec 22 14:18:11 CET 2012 - bumblebee-project@hotmail.com

- Update to 313.09

VT-switched away from X.
* Added unofficial GLX protocol support (i.e for GLX indirect rendering) for the following
extension and core commands.

ARB_vertex_array_object
OpenGL 3.0 commands ClearBufferfi, ClearBufferfv, ClearBufferiv, ClearBufferuiv and

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Aug 14 14:46:41 CET 2012 - bumblebee-project@hotmail.com

- Update to 304.37

* Added support for the following GPUs:

GeForce GTX 680M
Quadro K1000M
Quadro K2000M
Tesla K10

* Removed the ability to enable SLI on GPUs with ECC enabled.
* Fixed several bugs that prevented some RandR transform geometries from being applied.
* Fixed a bug that caused frequent hangs or crashes on some systems.
* Fixed a bug that would cause corruption and performance issues in certain OpenGL applications
such as Amnesia: The Dark Descent on GeForce 6 and 7 GPUs.
* Fixed a bug that caused applications that use DirectColor visuals, such as
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and Braid, to appear in shades of blue instead of
the correct colors.
* Modified handling of RRSetScreenSize requests to ignore requests that do not actually resize
the screen.This reduces screen flicker in certain cases when using GNOME.
* Added a new option, "--disable-nouveau" to nvidia-installer. This option changes the action
that is chosen by default when Nouveauis detected by nvidia-installer. If
the "--disable-nouveau" optionis set, then the default will be to attempt to disable Nouveau
when it is detected; otherwise, no attempt will be made unless requested.
* Added support for xserver ABI 13 (xorg-server 1.13).
* Added support for RandR per-CRTC gamma manipulation through the RandR 1.2 RRGetCrtcGammaSize,
RRGetCrtcGamma, and RRSetCrtcGamma requests.
* Fixed a bug that caused RRSetOutputPrimary requests to incorrectly generate BadValue errors
when setting the primary output to None.This caused gnome-settings-daemon to crash after
changing the screen configuration in response to a display hotplug or the display change
hot-key being pressed.
* Fixed a problem where RENDER Glyphs operations would exhibit severe performance issues in
certain cases, such as when used with gradients by Cairo and Chromium.
* Fixed a bug that caused X to hang when resuming certain DisplayPort display devices (such as
Apple brand mini-DisplayPort to dual-link DVI adapters) from power-saving mode.
* Fixed a bug that caused an X screen to be extended to Quadro SDI Output devices by default.
An X screen will still use an SDI Output device if it is the only display device available.
To use a SDI Output device on an X screen with other display devices available, include
the SDI Output device with either the "UseDisplayDevice" or "MetaMode" X configuration options.
* Updated X11 modeline validation such that modes not defined in a display device's EDID are
discarded if the EDID 1.3 "GTF Supported" flag is unset or if
the EDID 1.4 "Continuous Frequency" flag is unset. The new "AllowNonEdidModes" token for
the ModeValidationX configuration option can be used to disable this new check.
* Fixed a bug, introduced in the 295.xx release series, with EDID detection on some laptop
internal panels. This bug caused the laptop internal panel to show six small copies of
the desktop.
* Added support for FXAA, Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing. Using regular anti-aliasing modes or
Unified Back Buffers with FXAA is not currently supported.
* Enhanced the functionality of the IncludeImplicitMetaModes X configuration option:
Implicit MetaModes will be added for the primary display device, even if multiple display
devices are in use when X is initialized.

Implicit MetaModes will be added for common resolutions, even
if there isn't a mode with that resolution in the mode pool of
the display device.

Extended the syntax of the IncludeImplicitMetaModes X
configuration option, e.g., to control which display device is
used for creation of implicit MetaModes.

See the description of the IncludeImplicitMetaModes X configuration
option in the README for details.

* Modified the handling of the RandR 1.0/1.1 requests RRGetScreenInfo and RRSetScreenConfig
(e.g., `xrandr -q --q1` and `xrandr --size ...` and `xrandr --orientation ...`) such that
they operate on MetaModes. This was the behavior in NVIDIA X driver versions 295.xx and
earlier, but 302.xx releases altered the handling of these RandR 1.0/1.1 requests to
operate on a single RandR output's modes.
* With the above changes to IncludeImplicitMetaModes and RandR 1.0/1.1 handling, fullscreen
applications (e.g., SDL-based applications, Wine), should have more resolutions available
to them, and should interact better with multiple monitor configurations.
* Fixed a bug that could cause G8x, G9x, and GT2xx GPUs to display a black screen or corruption
after waking up from suspend.
* Fixed several bugs that could cause some OpenGL programs to hang when calling fork(3).
* Fixed an nvidia-settings bug that caused the results of ProbeDisplays queries made with
the --display-device-string option to be formatted incorrectly.
* Improved the responsiveness of updates to the nvidia-settings control panel when displays
are hotplugged.
* Fixed a bug that caused display corruption when setting some transforms, especially when
panning a transformed display.
* Fixed a bug that caused extra RandR events to be generated the first time a display is
hotplugged.
* Fixed a bug that caused X11 modelines with '@' in their names to be rejected.
* Added support for DisplayPort 1.2 branch devices, which allow multiple displays to be
connected to a single DisplayPort connector on a graphics board.
* Fixed a bug that caused most OpenGL texture uploads to be slow when the context was
bound rendering to an RGB overlay drawable.
* Fixed a bug that caused audio over HDMI to not work after restarting the X server on
some MCP7x (IGP) GPUs.
* Updated the X configuration option "UseDisplayDevice" to honor the value "none" on any GPU.
* Added support for DKMS in nvidia-installer. Installing the kernel module through DKMS
allows the module to be rebuilt automatically when changing to a different Linux kernel.
See the README and the nvidia-installer help text for the "--dkms" option.
* Added RandR output properties _ConnectorLocation, ConnectorNumber, ConnectorType, EDID,
_GUID, and SignalFormat. See the README for details on these properties.
* Extended support for Base Mosaic to all G80+ SLI configurations with up to three displays.
* Fixed a bug that caused some monitors to fail to wake from DPMS suspend mode when
multiple DisplayPort monitors were attached to one GPU.
* Removed controls for XVideo attributes from the "X Server XVideo Settings" page of
the nvidia-settings control panel. XVideo attributes can be configured in XVideo player
applications, or through utilities such as xvattr.
* Fixed a bug that caused all ports on an XVideo adaptor to share color correction settings.
* Removed support for the following X configuration options:

SecondMonitorHorizSync
SecondMonitorVertRefresh

Similar control is available through the NVIDIA HorizSync and
VertRefresh X configuration options. Please see the NVIDIA driver
README for details.

* Fixed a bug that prevented NVIDIA 3D Vision Pro from working properly when switching
between X servers on different VTs.
* Added support for desktop panning when rotation, reflection, or transformation is applied
to a display device (either through RandR or through the MetaMode syntax); panning would
previously be ignored in that case.
* Implemented hotfix for a privilege escalation vulnerability reported on August 1, 2012.

Tue Jun 19 11:36:43 CET 2012 - bumblebee-project@hotmail.com

- Update to 302.17

* Added support for the following GPUs:
GeForce GT 620M
GeForce GT 640M
GeForce GT 640M LE
GeForce GT 650M
GeForce GTX 660M
GeForce GTX 670M
GeForce GTX 675M
GeForce GTX 555
GeForce GTX 560 SE
GeForce GT 415
GeForce GTX 460 v2
NVS 5400M
NVS 310
Quadro 410
* Made nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder consistent with the RRSetOutputPrimary and
RRGetOutputPrimary RandR requests: changes to either nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder or
RandR OutputPrimary will be reflected in the other.
* Fixed an interaction problem between RandR 1.2, ConstrainCursor, and panning that prevented
panning from working properly.
* Fixed a bug that caused RandR RRNotify_CrtcChange events to not be generated when switching
between MetaModes with the same total size but different layout of display devices. This bug
caused some window managers to not update their layouts in response to switching same-sized
MetaModes.
* Added support for desktop panning when rotation, reflection, or transformation is applied
to a display device (either through RandR or through the MetaMode syntax); panning would
previously be ignored in that case.
* Added an "EDID" property to RandR 1.2 outputs. This property contains the binary contents of
the connected monitor's extended display identification data, which allows applications such as
the GNOME display properties dialog to query information about it.
* Fixed a bug that caused audio over HDMI to not work on some GPUs after querying the RandR
configuration (e.g., `xrandr -q`).
* Added the "nvidiaXineramaInfo" X configuration option to report the layout of multiple display
devices within an X screen. This is enabled by default. When disabled on X servers with
RandR 1.2 support, the NVIDIA X driver will report one screen-sized region. When disabled on
X servers without RandR 1.2 support, no Xinerama information will be reported. For backwards
compatibility, the "NoTwinViewXineramaInfo" option disables nvidiaXineramaInfo.
* Added the "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder" X configuration option as a replacement for
"TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder". For backwards compatibility, "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" is kept as
a synonym for "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder".
* Added the "nvidiaXineramaInfoOverride" X configuration option as a replacement for
"TwinViewXineramaInfoOverride". For backwards compatibility, "TwinViewXineramaInfoOverride" is kept
as a synonym for "nvidiaXineramaInfoOverride".
* Fixed a bug that prevented the use of some SLI Mosaic topologies.
* Added the "MetaModeOrientation" X configuration option as a replacement for "TwinViewOrientation".
"TwinViewOrientation" is kept as a synonym for "MetaModeOrientation", for backwards compatibility.
* Disabled the use of certain OpenGL optimizations with Autodesk Maya and Mudbox, due to conflicts
between these applications and the optimizations. Some performance loss in Autodesk Maya and
Mudbox is possible, as a result.
* Fixed a behavior issue where redundant DPMS state transitions were leading to unexpected screen
blanking on DisplayPort displays.

* Fixed a bug affecting some G-Sync configurations which could cause active stereo content to be
inverted on some display devices.
* Added support for calculating the physical size and DPI of each RandR 1.2 Output using the
EDID Detailed Timing Description.
* Fixed a bug that prevented a workaround for the invalid EDID in certain AUO laptop flat panels
from being applied, leading to an 800x600 desktop repeated several times across the screen.
* Fixed a bug that caused the link configuration of DisplayPort devices to be reported incorrectly
in nvidia-settings.

- Update to 302.07

* Fixed a bug that caused OpenGL programs to leak file descriptors when calling exec().
* Fixed rendering corruption at the start of new X server generation.
* Added X driver support for RandR 1.2 and RandR 1.3.
See "Support for the X Resize and Rotate Extension" in the README for details.
* Extended the MetaMode X configuration option syntax with the following new attributes:
Rotation : specifies the display device's rotation
Reflection : specifies the display device's reflection
Transform : specifies a 3x3 transformation matrix to be applied to the display device
ViewPortOut : specifies the region of the mode in which to display pixels
ViewPortIn : specifies the size of the region in the X screen to display in the ViewPortOut

For example, "DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select { Rotation=left }".
See "Configuring Multiple Display Devices on One X Screen" in the README for details.
* Removed the TwinView X configuration option; the functionality it provided is now enabled by default.

Previously, the NVIDIA X driver only enabled one display device for an X screen unless TwinView was
enabled. Now, the NVIDIA X driver enables, by default, as many display devices as the GPU supports
driving simultaneously. To limit how many display devices are driven by an X screen,
use the UseDisplayDevice X configuration option.
* Added a CurrentMetaMode attribute to the nvidia-settings command line,
to query and set the current MetaMode.

As an example, these two commands are equivalent:

* Removed overscan compensation configurability from NV-CONTROL and nvidia-settings. This can be
configured, with finer granularity, through the ViewPortIn and ViewPortOut MetaMode attributes.
See "Configuring Multiple Display Devices on One X Screen" in the README for details.
* Altered mode validation such that for digital display devices the X driver only allows, by default,
modes which are reported in the EDID. Previously, the NVIDIA X driver allowed other modes,
but implicitly scaled those other modes to one of the EDID modes.

Now, only the modes in the EDID are validated and the X driver does not do any implicit scaling.
Any desired scaling can be configured explicitly through the new ViewPortIn and
ViewPortOut MetaMode attributes.
See "Configuring Multiple Display Devices on One X Screen" in the README for details.
* Removed Flat Panel Scaling configurability in nvidia-settings. Any desired scaling can be
configured through the new ViewPortIn and ViewPortOut MetaMode attributes.
* Hotplug events (specifically, the RRNotify_OutputChange RandR event) are now generated when
display devices are connected and disconnected from the GPU. Many desktop environments
automatically resize the X desktop in response to these events.
* Added display device name aliases, such that X configuration options that use display device
names can refer to a display device by one of several names, including the RandR Output name
for the display device. The X log reports the list of aliases for each display device.
* Updated EDID parsing to include more complete support for EDID 1.4 and more recent versions
of CEA-861.
* Removed the Rotate X configuration option. This was used to statically rotate the X screen.
Its functionality is replaced by the Rotation MetaMode attribute and RandR 1.2 rotation support.
See the README for details.
* Removed the RandRRotation X configuration option. This enabled configurability of X screen
rotation via RandR 1.1. Its functionality is replaced by the Rotation MetaMode attribute and
RandR 1.2 rotation support. See the README for details.
* Removed support for the following NV-CONTROL attributes:
NV_CTRL_GPU_SCALING
NV_CTRL_GPU_SCALING_DEFAULT_TARGET
NV_CTRL_GPU_SCALING_DEFAULT_METHOD
NV_CTRL_DFP_SCALING_ACTIVE
NV_CTRL_GPU_SCALING_ACTIVE
NV_CTRL_FRONTEND_RESOLUTION
NV_CTRL_BACKEND_RESOLUTION
NV_CTRL_OVERSCAN_COMPENSATION
NV_CTRL_FLATPANEL_BEST_FIT_RESOLUTION
* Improved rendering performance for RENDER bitmap text.
* Enabled the OpenGL "Sync to VBlank" option by default.
* Added a new option, --restore-original-backup, to nvidia-xconfig. nvidia-xconfig creates a
backup of the original X configuration file when modifying an X configuration file that does not
appear to have been previously modified by nvidia-xconfig. This option restores a backup of the
original X configuration file
