* 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.

* Fixed a bug that could cause a deadlock when forking from OpenGL programs which use some malloc implementations, such as TCMalloc.
* Fixed a bug that prevented Warp & Blend settings from being retained across display configuration changes.
* Fixed a bug that prevented some settings changes made via the nvidia-settings command line interface from being reflected in the nvidia-settings graphical user interface.
* Changed the clipping behavior of the NVIDIA X driver on Trapezoids and Triangles for some RENDER operations to match the behavior in newer versions of Pixman:
* http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pixman/2013-April/002755.html
* Fixed a bug in MetaMode tracking that could cause spurious error messages to be printed when attempting to add or delete Metamodes via NV-CONTROL.
* Fixed a bug that caused the NVIDIA X driver to attempt to load the X11 \"shadow\" module unconditionally, even in situations where the driver had no need to use the module. This could result in the printing of spurious error messages, on X servers where the module was not present.
* Fixed a bug that prevented display configuration changes made with xvidtune(1) from working correctly.
* Fixed a bug that occasionally caused display corruption in GLX applications while changing the display configuration.
* Fixed a bug that prevented glReadPixels from working correctly when reading from Pixel Buffer Objects over indirect rendering, when the image width is not a multiple of 4.

* Fixed a bug in the nvidia-settings control panel that prevented users from configuring stereo, when stereo was not already configured.
* Added support for reporting the tachometer-measured fan speed on capable graphics boards via nvidia-settings and the NV-CONTROL API. The preexisting mechanism for reporting fan speed reports the speed of the fan as programmed by the driver.
* For example, `nvidia-settings --query=[fan:0]/GPUCurrentFanSpeedRPM`.
* Fixed a regression that caused GPUs that do not support graphics to not appear in nvidia-settings.
* Fixed a bug that caused DisplayPort 1.2 multi-stream devices to stop working if they were unplugged and plugged back in while they were active in the current MetaMode.
* Added support for multiple NVIDIA kernel modules. This feature allows users to assign different GPUs in the system to different NVIDIA kernel modules, potentially reducing the software overhead of coordinating access to multiple GPUs.
* Added support for the EGL API on 32-bit platforms. Currently, the supported client APIs are OpenGL ES 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0, and the only supported window system backend is X11.
* Add a new option, AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration, which allows the X server to start even if no connected display devices are detected at startup. This option can be enabled by running \"sudo nvidia-xconfig --allow-empty-initial-configuration\"
* This option is useful in RandR 1.4 display offload configurations where no display devices are connected to the NVIDIA GPU when the X server is started, but might be connected later.
* Updated nvidia-installer to provide a scrollable text area for displaying messages from the /usr/lib/nvidia/alternate-install-present and /usr/lib/nvidia/alternate-install-available distro hook files. This allows for longer messages to be provided in these files.
* Updated nvidia-installer to avoid recursing into the per-kernel \"build\" and \"source\" directories when searching for conflicting kernel modules in /lib/modules.
* Added a system memory cache to improve the performance of certain X rendering operations that use software rendering fallbacks. The X configuration option \"SoftwareRenderCacheSize\" may be used to configure the size of the cache.
* Removed the \"DynamicTwinView\" X configuration option: dynamic reconfiguration of displays is always possible, and can no longer be disabled.
* Fixed a bug that caused nvidia-settings to display incorrect information in its display configuration page when all displays on an X screen were turned off.
* Updated nvidia-installer to only install the libraries libvdpau and libvdpau_trace if an existing installation of libvdpau is not detected on the system. This behavior can be overridden with the --install-vdpau-wrapper and --no-install-vdpau-wrapper options.
* Future NVIDIA Linux installer packages will no longer include copies of libvdpau or libvdpau_trace: VDPAU users are recommended to install these libraries via other means, e.g. from packages provided by their distributors, or by building them from the sources available at: http://people.freedesktop.org/~aplattner/vdpau/
* Wed Oct 23 2013 bumblebee.obsAATTgmail.com- Update to 331.17
* Fixed a bug that prevented configuration files containing application profiles from being loaded when directories were present in the application profile configuration search path.
* Deferred initialization of libselinux in the NVIDIA OpenGL driver, in order to avoid a problem where libselinux might not be ready when the NVIDIA libGL shared library is first loaded.
* Fixed a bug that could lead to memory exhaustion in OpenGL applications running on 32-bit systems.
* Added nvidia-uvm.ko, the NVIDIA Unified Memory kernel module, to the NVIDIA Linux driver package. This kernel module provides support for the new Unified Memory feature in an upcoming CUDA release.
* Fri Oct 04 2013 bumblebee.obsAATTgmail.com- Update to 331.13

* Fixed a bug that could cause a deadlock when forking from OpenGL programs which use some malloc implementations, such as TCMalloc.
* Fixed a bug that prevented Warp & Blend settings from being retained across display configuration changes.
* Fixed a bug that prevented some settings changes made via the nvidia-settings command line interface from being reflected in the nvidia-settings graphical user interface.
* Changed the clipping behavior of the NVIDIA X driver on Trapezoids and Triangles for some RENDER operations to match the behavior in newer versions of Pixman: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pixman/2013-April/002755.html
* Fixed a bug in MetaMode tracking that could cause spurious error messages to be printed when attempting to add or delete Metamodes via NV-CONTROL.
* Fixed a bug that caused the NVIDIA X driver to attempt to load the X11 \"shadow\" module unconditionally, even in situations where the driver had no need to use the module. This could result in the printing of spurious error messages, on X servers where the module was not present.
* Fixed a bug that prevented display configuration changes made with xvidtune(1) from working correctly.
* Fixed a bug that occasionally caused display corruption in GLX applications while changing the display configuration.

* Added GPU utilization reporting to the nvidia-settings control panel.
* Fixed a bug in the nvidia-settings control panel that prevented users from configuring stereo, when stereo was not already configured.
* Added support for reporting the tachometer-measured fan speed on capable graphics boards via nvidia-settings and the NV-CONTROL API. The preexisting mechanism for reporting fan speed reports the speed of the fan as programmed by the driver. For example, `nvidia-settings --query=[fan:0]/GPUCurrentFanSpeedRPM`.
* Fixed a regression that caused GPUs that do not support graphics to not appear in nvidia-settings.
* Fixed a bug that caused DisplayPort 1.2 multi-stream devices to stop working if they were unplugged and plugged back in while they were active in the current MetaMode.
* Added support for multiple NVIDIA kernel modules. This feature allows users to assign different GPUs in the system to different NVIDIA kernel modules, potentially reducing the software overhead of coordinating access to multiple GPUs.
* Added support for the EGL API on 32-bit platforms. Currently, the supported client APIs are OpenGL ES 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0, and the only supported window system backend is X11.
* Add a new option, AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration, which allows the X server to start even if no connected display devices are detected at startup. This option can be enabled by running \"sudo nvidia-xconfig --allow-empty-initial-configuration\" This option is useful in RandR 1.4 display offload configurations where no display devices are connected to the NVIDIA GPU when the X server is started, but might be connected later. Updated nvidia-installer to provide a scrollable text area for displaying messages from the /usr/lib/nvidia/alternate-install-present and /usr/lib/nvidia/alternate-install-available distro hook files. This allows for longer messages to be provided in these files. Updated nvidia-installer to avoid recursing into the per-kernel \"build\" and \"source\" directories when searching for conflicting kernel modules in /lib/modules. Added a system memory cache to improve the performance of certain X rendering operations that use software rendering fallbacks. The X configuration option \"SoftwareRenderCacheSize\" may be used to configure the size of the cache. Removed the \"DynamicTwinView\" X configuration option: dynamic reconfiguration of displays is always possible, and can no longer be disabled. Fixed a bug that caused nvidia-settings to display incorrect information in its display configuration page when all displays on an X screen were turned off.
* Updated nvidia-installer to only install the libraries libvdpau and libvdpau_trace if an existing installation of libvdpau is not detected on the system. This behavior can be overridden with the --install-vdpau-wrapper and --no-install-vdpau-wrapper options.

* Sat Jul 20 2013 bumblebee.obsAATTgmail.com- Update to 325.08
* Fixed a bug that could cause display flickering after setting some scaling configurations.
* Fixed a bug that prevented the status bar on the \"PowerMizer\" and \"X Server XVideo Settings\" pages in the nvidia-settings control panel from being updated when settings were changed by another NV-CONTROL client.
* Fixed a bug that could cause some UI elements to be duplicated in the nvidia-settings control panel following a VT switch on X server configurations with multiple NVIDIA X screens.
* Changed the default PCIe interrupt delivery method from virtual-wire to MSI. Note that if the NVIDIA Linux driver fails to initialize with an error indicating that it is not receiving interrupts, MSI can be disabled by setting the module parameter \"NVreg_EnableMSI=0\" when loading the NVIDIA kernel module.
* Removed support for Linux 2.4 kernels. The NVIDIA Linux driver now requires Linux 2.6.9 or later.
* Fixed a bug that prevented the creation of a mode via RandR with the same name as a previously created mode, even after the previous mode had been deleted.
* Fixed a bug in nvidia-settings that caused GTK+ theme colors to be ignored for some UI elements.
* Fixed a bug that caused nvidia-settings to write hostname-based color correction settings to the .nvidia-settings-rc configuration file, even when the \"Include X Display Names in the Config File\" option was unset.

* Improved the rendering performance of complex gradients.
* Added support for configuring SLI Mosaic and Base Mosaic in the \"X Server Display Configuration\" page of nvidia-settings.
* Updated nvidia-installer to look for the following files: /usr/lib/nvidia/alternate-install-available /usr/lib/nvidia/alternate-install-present
* These files may be provided by NVIDIA driver installers other than the official .run package maintained by NVIDIA, to alert nvidia-installer to the presence or availability of an alternative installation method. See the nvidia-installer(1) manual page for more information.
* Fixed an X driver bug where the RandR CRTC panning area and tracking area were not getting clamped to the current X screen size when the RandR CRTC transitioned from disabled to enabled.
* Fixed an X driver bug where successful RandR X_RRSetScreenConfig requests would update the server\'s RandR \'lastSetTime\' too far, potentially causing subsequent RandR requests to be unnecessarily rejected.
* Fixed an X driver bug that caused GPUs to become inaccessible via the NV-CONTROL X extension when no corresponding X screens could be initialized.
* Generate a BadMatch error when applications attempt to create GLX pixmaps using glXCreatePixmap() or glXCreateGLXPixmapWithConfigSGIX() and the pixmap\'s depth doesn\'t match that of the specified GLXFBConfig.
* Updated nvidia-settings to explicitly specify the direction of rotation for configuring per-display rotation configuration.
* Honor a GPU UUID as the GPU qualifier for X configuration options that allow GPU qualifiers (e.g. \"MetaModes\").
* Report GPU UUIDs in the X log when verbose logging is enabled in the X server.
* Enabled conformant glBlitFrameBuffer() scissor test behavior by default. A driver-provided application profile enables the previous non-conformant behavior for applications that load libcogl, to work around a bug in older versions of libcogl.
* Application profiles can be added to enable the non-conformant behavior for other applications that depend upon it. See the \"Known Issues\" section of the README for more details.
* Fixed a bug that caused the X server to crash when querying the current mode of disabled displays.

* Fixed nvidia-settings to dlopen(3) \"libvdpau.so.1\", rather than \"libvdpau.so\".
* Added nvidia-persistenced, a daemon utility, to the driver package. nvidia-persistenced can be installed to run on system startup or manually run to allow the NVIDIA kernel module to keep persistent driver state allocated when no other user-space NVIDIA driver components are running. This can improve startup time for other user-space NVIDIA driver components.
* Fixed CVE-2013-0131: NVIDIA UNIX GPU Driver ARGB Cursor Buffer Overflow in \"NoScanout\" Mode. This buffer overflow, which occurred when an X client installed a large ARGB cursor on an X server running in NoScanout mode, could cause a denial of service (e.g., an X server segmentation fault), or could be exploited to achieve arbitrary code execution.
* For more details, see: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3290
* Added initial support for restoration of efifb consoles on UEFI systems where the primary display is driven over VGA or TMDS (e.g. DVI, HDMI, or LVDS).
* Added support for the xorg.conf Monitor section options \"Ignore\", \"Enable\", \"Primary\", and \"Rotate\".For example, to rotate a monitor identified by a specific EDID hash, one could add the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf or a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d: Section \"Monitor\" Identifier \"DPY-EDID-ee6cecc0-fa46-0c33-94e0-274313f9e7eb\" Option \"Rotate\" \"left\" EndSection See the README and the xorg.conf(5) man page for more information.

* Added nvidia-modprobe, a setuid root utility, to the driver package. nvidia-modprobe can be used by user-space NVIDIA driver components to make sure the NVIDIA kernel module is loaded and that the NVIDIA character device files are present.When possible, it is recommended to use Linux distribution native mechanisms for managing kernel module loading and device file creation. This utility is provided as a fallback to work out-of-the-box in a distribution-independent way.
* Updated the nvidia-settings command line interface to accept display device names, as well as optional target qualifiers, e.g. nvidia-settings -q [DVI-I-0]/RefreshRate nvidia-settings -q [GPU-1.DVI_I-1]/RefreshRate
* Updated the nvidia-settings command line interface to no longer assume the \"X screen 0\" target, when no target is specified in query and assign operations.Instead, all valid targets of the attribute are processed.

* Fixed a bug that caused applications that use DirectColor visuals, such as Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and Braid, to appear in shades of blue instead of the correct colors.
* Modified handling of RRSetScreenSize requests to ignore requests that do not actually resize the screen.This reduces screen flicker in certain cases when using GNOME.
* Added a new option, \"--disable-nouveau\" to nvidia-installer. This option changes the action that is chosen by default when Nouveauis detected by nvidia-installer. If the \"--disable-nouveau\" optionis set, then the default will be to attempt to disable Nouveau when it is detected; otherwise, no attempt will be made unless requested.
* Added support for xserver ABI 13 (xorg-server 1.13).
* Added support for RandR per-CRTC gamma manipulation through the RandR 1.2 RRGetCrtcGammaSize, RRGetCrtcGamma, and RRSetCrtcGamma requests.

* Fixed a problem where RENDER Glyphs operations would exhibit severe performance issues in certain cases, such as when used with gradients by Cairo and Chromium.
* Fixed a bug that caused X to hang when resuming certain DisplayPort display devices (such as Apple brand mini-DisplayPort to dual-link DVI adapters) from power-saving mode.
* Fixed a bug that caused an X screen to be extended to Quadro SDI Output devices by default. An X screen will still use an SDI Output device if it is the only display device available. To use a SDI Output device on an X screen with other display devices available, include the SDI Output device with either the \"UseDisplayDevice\" or \"MetaMode\" X configuration options.
* Updated X11 modeline validation such that modes not defined in a display device\'s EDID are discarded if the EDID 1.3 \"GTF Supported\" flag is unset or if the EDID 1.4 \"Continuous Frequency\" flag is unset. The new \"AllowNonEdidModes\" token for the ModeValidationX configuration option can be used to disable this new check.
* Fixed a bug, introduced in the 295.xx release series, with EDID detection on some laptop internal panels. This bug caused the laptop internal panel to show six small copies of the desktop.
* Added support for FXAA, Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing. Using regular anti-aliasing modes or Unified Back Buffers with FXAA is not currently supported.
* Enhanced the functionality of the IncludeImplicitMetaModes X configuration option: Implicit MetaModes will be added for the primary display device, even if multiple display devices are in use when X is initialized. Implicit MetaModes will be added for common resolutions, even if there isn\'t a mode with that resolution in the mode pool of the display device. Extended the syntax of the IncludeImplicitMetaModes X configuration option, e.g., to control which display device is used for creation of implicit MetaModes. See the description of the IncludeImplicitMetaModes X configuration option in the README for details.
* Modified the handling of the RandR 1.0/1.1 requests RRGetScreenInfo and RRSetScreenConfig (e.g., `xrandr -q --q1` and `xrandr --size ...` and `xrandr --orientation ...`) such that they operate on MetaModes. This was the behavior in NVIDIA X driver versions 295.xx and earlier, but 302.xx releases altered the handling of these RandR 1.0/1.1 requests to operate on a single RandR output\'s modes.
* With the above changes to IncludeImplicitMetaModes and RandR 1.0/1.1 handling, fullscreen applications (e.g., SDL-based applications, Wine), should have more resolutions available to them, and should interact better with multiple monitor configurations.
* Fixed a bug that could cause G8x, G9x, and GT2xx GPUs to display a black screen or corruption after waking up from suspend.
* Fixed several bugs that could cause some OpenGL programs to hang when calling fork(3).

* Improved the responsiveness of updates to the nvidia-settings control panel when displays are hotplugged.
* Fixed a bug that caused display corruption when setting some transforms, especially when panning a transformed display.
* Fixed a bug that caused extra RandR events to be generated the first time a display is hotplugged.
* Fixed a bug that caused X11 modelines with \'AATT\' in their names to be rejected.
* Added support for DisplayPort 1.2 branch devices, which allow multiple displays to be connected to a single DisplayPort connector on a graphics board.
* Fixed a bug that caused most OpenGL texture uploads to be slow when the context was bound rendering to an RGB overlay drawable.
* Fixed a bug that caused audio over HDMI to not work after restarting the X server on some MCP7x (IGP) GPUs.
* Updated the X configuration option \"UseDisplayDevice\" to honor the value \"none\" on any GPU.
* Added support for DKMS in nvidia-installer. Installing the kernel module through DKMS allows the module to be rebuilt automatically when changing to a different Linux kernel. See the README and the nvidia-installer help text for the \"--dkms\" option.
* Added RandR output properties _ConnectorLocation, ConnectorNumber, ConnectorType, EDID, _GUID, and SignalFormat. See the README for details on these properties.
* Extended support for Base Mosaic to all G80+ SLI configurations with up to three displays.
* Fixed a bug that caused some monitors to fail to wake from DPMS suspend mode when multiple DisplayPort monitors were attached to one GPU.
* Removed controls for XVideo attributes from the \"X Server XVideo Settings\" page of the nvidia-settings control panel. XVideo attributes can be configured in XVideo player applications, or through utilities such as xvattr.
* Fixed a bug that caused all ports on an XVideo adaptor to share color correction settings.
* Removed support for the following X configuration options: SecondMonitorHorizSync SecondMonitorVertRefresh Similar control is available through the NVIDIA HorizSync and VertRefresh X configuration options. Please see the NVIDIA driver README for details.
* Fixed a bug that prevented NVIDIA 3D Vision Pro from working properly when switching between X servers on different VTs.
* Added support for desktop panning when rotation, reflection, or transformation is applied to a display device (either through RandR or through the MetaMode syntax); panning would previously be ignored in that case.
* Implemented hotfix for a privilege escalation vulnerability reported on August 1, 2012. For more details, see: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3140
* Tue Aug 07 2012 bumblebee-projectAATThotmail.com- Update to 304.32

* Tue Jun 19 2012 bumblebee-projectAATThotmail.com- Update to 302.17
* Added support for the following GPUs: GeForce GT 620M GeForce GT 640M GeForce GT 640M LE GeForce GT 650M GeForce GTX 660M GeForce GTX 670M GeForce GTX 675M GeForce GTX 555 GeForce GTX 560 SE GeForce GT 415 GeForce GTX 460 v2 NVS 5400M NVS 310 Quadro 410
* Made nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder consistent with the RRSetOutputPrimary and RRGetOutputPrimary RandR requests: changes to either nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder or RandR OutputPrimary will be reflected in the other.
* Fixed an interaction problem between RandR 1.2, ConstrainCursor, and panning that prevented panning from working properly.
* Fixed a bug that caused RandR RRNotify_CrtcChange events to not be generated when switching between MetaModes with the same total size but different layout of display devices. This bug caused some window managers to not update their layouts in response to switching same-sized MetaModes.
* Added support for desktop panning when rotation, reflection, or transformation is applied to a display device (either through RandR or through the MetaMode syntax); panning would previously be ignored in that case.
* Added an \"EDID\" property to RandR 1.2 outputs. This property contains the binary contents of the connected monitor\'s extended display identification data, which allows applications such as the GNOME display properties dialog to query information about it.
* Fixed a bug that caused audio over HDMI to not work on some GPUs after querying the RandR configuration (e.g., `xrandr -q`).
* Added the \"nvidiaXineramaInfo\" X configuration option to report the layout of multiple display devices within an X screen. This is enabled by default. When disabled on X servers with RandR 1.2 support, the NVIDIA X driver will report one screen-sized region. When disabled on X servers without RandR 1.2 support, no Xinerama information will be reported. For backwards compatibility, the \"NoTwinViewXineramaInfo\" option disables nvidiaXineramaInfo.
* Added the \"nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder\" X configuration option as a replacement for \"TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder\". For backwards compatibility, \"TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder\" is kept as a synonym for \"nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder\".
* Added the \"nvidiaXineramaInfoOverride\" X configuration option as a replacement for \"TwinViewXineramaInfoOverride\". For backwards compatibility, \"TwinViewXineramaInfoOverride\" is kept as a synonym for \"nvidiaXineramaInfoOverride\".
* Fixed a bug that prevented the use of some SLI Mosaic topologies.
* Added the \"MetaModeOrientation\" X configuration option as a replacement for \"TwinViewOrientation\". \"TwinViewOrientation\" is kept as a synonym for \"MetaModeOrientation\", for backwards compatibility.
* Disabled the use of certain OpenGL optimizations with Autodesk Maya and Mudbox, due to conflicts between these applications and the optimizations. Some performance loss in Autodesk Maya and Mudbox is possible, as a result.
* Fixed a behavior issue where redundant DPMS state transitions were leading to unexpected screen blanking on DisplayPort displays.

* Fixed a bug affecting some G-Sync configurations which could cause active stereo content to be inverted on some display devices.
* Added support for calculating the physical size and DPI of each RandR 1.2 Output using the EDID Detailed Timing Description.
* Fixed a bug that prevented a workaround for the invalid EDID in certain AUO laptop flat panels from being applied, leading to an 800x600 desktop repeated several times across the screen.
* Fixed a bug that caused the link configuration of DisplayPort devices to be reported incorrectly in nvidia-settings.
* Thu May 31 2012 bumblebee-projectAATThotmail.com- Update to 295.53
* Added support for the following GPU: GeForce GTX 670 GeForce 605 GeForce GT 610 GeForce GT 630 GeForce GT 640 GeForce GT 645
* Fixed a bug affecting some G-Sync configurations which could cause active stereo content to be inverted on some display devices.
* Sat May 05 2012 bumblebee-projectAATThotmail.com- Update to 302.07
* Fixed a bug that caused OpenGL programs to leak file descriptors when calling exec().
* Fixed rendering corruption at the start of new X server generation.
* Added X driver support for RandR 1.2 and RandR 1.3. See \"Support for the X Resize and Rotate Extension\" in the README for details.
* Extended the MetaMode X configuration option syntax with the following new attributes: Rotation : specifies the display device\'s rotation Reflection : specifies the display device\'s reflection Transform : specifies a 3x3 transformation matrix to be applied to the display device ViewPortOut : specifies the region of the mode in which to display pixels ViewPortIn : specifies the size of the region in the X screen to display in the ViewPortOut For example, \"DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select { Rotation=left }\". See \"Configuring Multiple Display Devices on One X Screen\" in the README for details.
* Removed the TwinView X configuration option; the functionality it provided is now enabled by default. Previously, the NVIDIA X driver only enabled one display device for an X screen unless TwinView was enabled. Now, the NVIDIA X driver enables, by default, as many display devices as the GPU supports driving simultaneously. To limit how many display devices are driven by an X screen, use the UseDisplayDevice X configuration option.
* Added a CurrentMetaMode attribute to the nvidia-settings command line, to query and set the current MetaMode. As an example, these two commands are equivalent: xrandr --output DVI-I-2 --mode 1280x1024 --pos 0x0 --output DVI-I-3 --mode 1920x1200 --pos 1280x0 nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode=\"DVI-I-2: 1280x1024 +0+0, DVI-I-3: 1920x1200 +1280+0\"
* Removed overscan compensation configurability from NV-CONTROL and nvidia-settings. This can be configured, with finer granularity, through the ViewPortIn and ViewPortOut MetaMode attributes. See \"Configuring Multiple Display Devices on One X Screen\" in the README for details.
* Altered mode validation such that for digital display devices the X driver only allows, by default, modes which are reported in the EDID. Previously, the NVIDIA X driver allowed other modes, but implicitly scaled those other modes to one of the EDID modes. Now, only the modes in the EDID are validated and the X driver does not do any implicit scaling. Any desired scaling can be configured explicitly through the new ViewPortIn and ViewPortOut MetaMode attributes. See \"Configuring Multiple Display Devices on One X Screen\" in the README for details.
* Removed Flat Panel Scaling configurability in nvidia-settings. Any desired scaling can be configured through the new ViewPortIn and ViewPortOut MetaMode attributes.
* Hotplug events (specifically, the RRNotify_OutputChange RandR event) are now generated when display devices are connected and disconnected from the GPU. Many desktop environments automatically resize the X desktop in response to these events.
* Added display device name aliases, such that X configuration options that use display device names can refer to a display device by one of several names, including the RandR Output name for the display device. The X log reports the list of aliases for each display device.
* Updated EDID parsing to include more complete support for EDID 1.4 and more recent versions of CEA-861.
* Removed the Rotate X configuration option. This was used to statically rotate the X screen. Its functionality is replaced by the Rotation MetaMode attribute and RandR 1.2 rotation support. See the README for details.
* Removed the RandRRotation X configuration option. This enabled configurability of X screen rotation via RandR 1.1. Its functionality is replaced by the Rotation MetaMode attribute and RandR 1.2 rotation support. See the README for details.
* Removed support for the following NV-CONTROL attributes: NV_CTRL_GPU_SCALING NV_CTRL_GPU_SCALING_DEFAULT_TARGET NV_CTRL_GPU_SCALING_DEFAULT_METHOD NV_CTRL_DFP_SCALING_ACTIVE NV_CTRL_GPU_SCALING_ACTIVE NV_CTRL_FRONTEND_RESOLUTION NV_CTRL_BACKEND_RESOLUTION NV_CTRL_OVERSCAN_COMPENSATION NV_CTRL_FLATPANEL_BEST_FIT_RESOLUTION
* Improved rendering performance for RENDER bitmap text.
* Enabled the OpenGL \"Sync to VBlank\" option by default.
* Added a new option, --restore-original-backup, to nvidia-xconfig. nvidia-xconfig creates a backup of the original X configuration file when modifying an X configuration file that does not appear to have been previously modified by nvidia-xconfig. This option restores a backup of the original X configuration file
