Changelog
nvidia-graphics-drivers (290.03-0ubuntu1~xedgers~oneiric1) oneiric; urgency=high
* New upstream beta release
- Added support for the following GPU:
o GeForce 510
- Fixed a bug that prevented the driver from loading on some systems with
integrated graphics.
- Fixed issues in VDPAU that prevented allocating and displaying extremely
large VdpOutputSurfaces.
- Added support for limiting heap allocations in the OpenGL driver through
the use of the __GL_HEAP_ALLOC_LIMIT environment variable. See the README
for further details.
- Added an "Accel" option to the X driver to allow disabling its use of the
graphics processing hardware. This is useful when other components, such as
CUDA, require exclusive use of the GPU's processing cores.
- Modified how the OpenGL driver allocates executable memory so it may
continue to function properly if /tmp is mounted noexec. As some fallback
allocation methods may be prohibited under SELinux policy, the driver now
supports detection of this policy as well as manual override of this
detection via the __GL_SELINUX_BOOLEANS environment variable.
- Fixed a bug that caused various GLSL built-in uniforms to not be updated
properly when calling glPopAttrib.
- Improved performance by caching compiled OpenGL shaders to disk. Added a
"GLShaderDiskCache" option to the X driver to enable/disable this feature.
Added the __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE and __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH environment
variables for further configuration. See the README for further details.
- Fixed a bug that caused trapezoid and triangle rendering to be very slow
on older GPUs with xorg-server 1.11.
