---------------
nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates (331.38-0ubuntu0.0.1) precise-proposed;
urgency=medium
[ Shih-Yuan Lee (FourDollars) ]
* debian/nvidia_supported,
debian/rules:
- Add subsystem ID parsing support for LP: #1255813.
[ Alberto Milone ]
* debian/dkms_nvidia/patches/register-VT-switch-requirements.patch:
- Make sure to call pm_vt_switch_{required,unregister}(), so that
the kernel knows that the driver requires a vt switch at
suspend/resume time. This resolves a corruption issue on resume
from S3 (LP: #1210077).
Thanks to NVIDIA for the patch.
* debian/dkms_nvidia_uvm/patches/buildfix_kernel_3.12.patch,
debian/dkms_nvidia/patches/buildfix_kernel_3.13.patch:
- Add support for Linux 3.13 (LP: #1294163).
* debian/substvars:
- Add support for X ABI 15 and lts-trusty.
* New upstream release:
- Added support for X.org xserver ABI 15 (xorg-server 1.15).
- Fixed a bug that caused the X server to crash if video memory
is exhausted and the GPU does not support rendering to system
memory.
- Updated nvidia-installer to make the --multiple-kernel-modules
option imply the --no-unified-memory option: Unified memory is
incompatible with multiple kernel modules.
- Updated the behavior of the nvidia-settings PowerMizer
Preferred Mode drop-down menu, to make the setting apply
consistently across all GPUs in an SLI group.
- Improved the robustness of the NVIDIA X driver in scenarios
where GPU-accessible memory for allocating pixmaps was
exhausted.
- Added NV-CONTROL attributes to control the brightness of the
illuminated logos on certain graphics boards.For example, to
turn off the illumination of the
GEFORCE GTX
lettering on the GeForce GTX 780, use
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.

Title:
Please update precise nvidia drivers to support 3.13 trusty backport
kernel

Bug description:
[Impact]
* The 3.13 trusty backport kernel for 12.04 will be released fairly
soon. Some people have started testing the daily builds out the the
Kernel Team PPA. However the NVIDIA binary drivers in precise need
patches to support the 3.13 kernel.
[Test Case]
* The latest Nvidia binary driver series in 12.04 should work with
the upcomping 3.13 backport kernel; it currently does not.
[Regression Potential]
* Low. The patches enable compatibility with newer kernels but do
not affect installations on older kernels.
