src/g80_* are new files, and actually add support for new hardware. The configure diff can (I think) be ignored, it's just regenerated in a current etch environment. Lots of files with 2 or 3 lines diff got their CVS tags removed, I can revert that if it's preferred by the SRMs. Changes in debian/xsfbs/ could be removed too, if needed (I updated these packaging scripts to the latest version, but the changes aren't needed/used here). Most changes in src/nv_driver.c are new PCI IDs. There are some additional bug fixes for older hardware (changes in src/nv_*.c, bug numbers refer to bugs.freedesktop.org): - the riva128 submodule is removed, and folded in nv_drv.so - Fix some random colormap corruption on DFPs with certain pre-G80 GPUs. - Bug #4686: Fix a minor GeForceFX + flatpanel + video overlay corruption issue. (this change was also in sarge, but reverted accidentally in xfree86 cvs) - Replace panel message + MODE_BAD with MODE_PANEL. - Hide the cursor in CloseScreen. - Avoid hanging when switching modes on some nv4x cards. - Bug #10360: Need to inject a mode corresponding panel width/height for validation - Add rudimentary VBE-based dual head support for pre-G80. (no change unless the DualHead option is enabled in xorg.conf afaict) - Bug #7309: Delay after disabling cursor to avoid wedging the cursor hardware on GeForce 6150. Any of these should be easily reverted if deemed unsuitable for etch+1/2. I don't have any nvidia hardware, so it would be nice if people with a g80-class nvidia gpu who are ready to test this could contact me.
