This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-graphics-drivers-177 -
177.80-0ubuntu1
---------------
nvidia-graphics-drivers-177 (177.80-0ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low
* Add driver 177.80 (LP: #275098):
* Added support for the following new GPUs:
o GeForce GTX 260
o GeForce GTX 280
o GeForce 9800 GTX+
o GeForce 9800 GT
o GeForce 9700M GTS
o GeForce 9500 GT
o GeForce 8100P
o nForce 780a SLI
o nForce 750a SLI
o Quadro FX 770M
o Quadro NVS 160M
o Quadro NVS 150M
* Improved support for RENDER masks, as well as RENDER repeating
modes and transformations, for video memory pixmaps.
* Added accelerated support for RENDER convolution filters for
video memory pixmaps on GeForce 8, 9 and GTX GPUs.
* Improved support for RENDER operations with the same source
and destination; this should performance in some situations,
e.g. when dragging Plasma applets in KDE4.
* Improved GPU video memory management coordination between the
NVIDIA X driver and OpenGL implementation; this should improve
performance with e.g. the KDE4 OpenGL compositing manager.
* Added an 'AllowSHMPixmaps' X configuration option, which can
be used to prevent applications from using shared memory
pixmaps; the latter may cause some optimizations in the NVIDIA
X driver to be disabled.
* Fixed a text rendering performance regression that affected
GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs.
* Fixed a regression that caused the 'Auto' SLI X option setting
to not enable SLI.
* Fixed a bug that caused system hangs when using the NV-CONTROL
interface to change GPU clock frequencies.
* Added support for DisplayPort display devices (including 30-bit
devices).
* Resolved various stability problems on GeForce 8, 9 and GTX
GPUs, as well as some GeForce 6 and 7 PCI-E GPUs.
* Fixed a bug that resulted in GPU errors when changing the
TwinView display configuration while using Compiz.
* Further improved the error recovery paths taken in case of GPU
command stream corruption.
* Updated mode validation, in cases when no EDID is detected,
such that 1024x768 @ 60Hz and 800x600 @ 60Hz are allowed,
rather than just 640x480 @ 60Hz.
* Removed an old workaround that caused incorrect Xinerama
information to be reported after enabling a second TwinView
display.
* Fixed corruption when using SLI in SFR mode with OpenGL-based
composite managers.
* Fixed the subpicture component order reported by the NVIDIA X
driver's XvMC implementation.
* Added a workaround for broken EDIDs provided by some Acer
AL1512 monitors.
* Fixed a bug that caused GLXBadDrawable errors to be generated
when running more than one OpenGL application with anti-aliasing
enabled on GeForce 6 and 7 GPUs, e.g. wine.
* Fixed a problem that could result in IRQs being disabled on some
multi-GPU SMP configurations.
* Worked around cache flushing problems (on some Linux kernels)
that caused corruption and stability problems.
* Added experimental support for PCI-E MSI.
* Fixed a bug that resulted in AGP FW/SBA settings and overrides
being applied incorrectly when using the Linux kernel's AGP GART
driver.
* Improved compatibility with recent Linux 2.6 kernels.
* Updated the X driver to consider /sys/class/power_supply when
determining the AC power state.
