Additional information
  • Fixed a regression in 256.29 where Performance Level clock frequencies were reported incorrectly in nvidia-settings.
  • Fixed a 3D Vision Stereo bug that caused the stereo glasses to not toggle when the flat panel was not running at its native mode timings.
  • Fixed a bug that caused nvidia-settings to crash when rendering its thermal gauge widget if the range of valid values for the thermal sensor was empty.
  • Fixed a bug which prevented use of high performance PowerMizer levels on systems with certain ACPI configurations.
  • Fixed a bug that caused non-primary Fermi GPUs to fail to initialize framebuffer memory. This caused a variety of symptoms, up to and including system hangs.
  • Added unofficial GLX protocol support (i.e., for GLX indirect rendering) for the following OpenGL extensions:
      GL_ARB_blend_func_extended
      GL_ARB_draw_buffers_blend
      GL_ARB_sample_shading
      GL_ARB_timer_query
      GL_EXT_draw_buffers2
      GL_EXT_separate_shader_objects
      GL_NV_explicit_multisample
      GL_NV_transform_feedback
  • Improved Thermal Settings reporting in nvidia-settings to accurately reflect hardware configurations with multiple thermalsensors.
  • Fixed an interaction problem between Compiz and'screen-scraping' VNC servers like x11vnc and vino that caused the screento stop updating. Fixes Launchpad bug #353126.
  • Enhanced VDPAU to add basic support for Xinerama. VDPAU will now operate on a single physical X screen under Xinerama. See theREADME for more details.
  • Enhanced VDPAU's handling of corrupt clips of all formats on GPUs with VDPAU feature set C to be at least as good as on GPUs with VDPAU feature set B. This significantly improves various clips provided by nvnews.net user eamiller.
  • Fixed a bug in Xv attribute handling that caused hue, saturation, brightness, and contrast values to be misapplied when using an Xv overlay adaptor.
  • Fixed a bug in the XvMC driver that prevented it from working on systems with AGP graphics cards.
  • Enhanced VDPAU to clear all VdpVideoSurfaces to black when allocated.This provides more consistent results when using a surface as a reference when no prior decode operation has written to that surface.In turn, this improves the results of decoding some corrupt streams,such as "p_only_no_play" from ffmpeg bug 1124.
  • Implemented new APIs to allow sharing VDPAU surfaces with OpenGL and CUDA. The OpenGL extension is GL_NV_vdpau_interop. For CUDA, please see the documentation in the CUDA toolkit for details.
  • Worked around a bug where the combination of a GPU with VDPAU feature set A together with specific motherboard chipsets could cause visible corruption when decoding some MPEG-2 streams
  • Fixed a bug that prevented the VDPAU overlay-based presentation queue from being used more than a few hundred times per X server invocation.
  • Renamed the driver file libGLcore.so.VERSION to libnvidia-glcore.so.VERSION, as a small step towards reducing the filename collisions between NVIDIA's and MESA's OpenGL implementations.This driver file is used by NVIDIA's libGL.so and libglx.so, and should never be used directly by applications.
  • Compressed the nvidia-settings, nvidia-installer, and nvidia-xconfig tarballs with bzip2, rather than gzip.
