Public bug reported:
See ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=136281
Changes since 185.18.*:
* Added GLX protocol support (i.e., for GLX indirect rendering) for the
following OpenGL extensions:
o GL_ARB_draw_buffers
o GL_EXT_Cg_shader
o GL_EXT_gpu_program_parameters
o GL_NV_fragment_program
o GL_NV_gpu_program4
o GL_NV_register_combiners
o GL_NV_vertex_program1_1
o GL_NV_vertex_program2
* Added unofficial GLX protocol support (i.e., for GLX indirect rendering)
for the following OpenGL extensions:
o GL_ARB_geometry_shader4
o GL_ARB_shader_objects
o GL_ARB_texture_buffer_object
o GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object
o GL_ARB_vertex_shader
o GL_EXT_bindable_uniform
o GL_EXT_compiled_vertex_array
o GL_EXT_geometry_shader4
o GL_EXT_gpu_shader4
o GL_EXT_texture_buffer_object
o GL_NV_geometry_program4
o GL_NV_vertex_program
o GL_NV_parameter_buffer_object
o GL_NV_vertex_program4
GLX protocol for GL_EXT_vertex_array was also updated to incorporate
rendering using GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object. Use of these extensions with GLX
indirect rendering requires the AllowUnofficialGLXProtocol X configuration
option and the __GL_ALLOW_UNOFFICIAL_PROTOCOL environment variable.
* Fixed a bug that caused glXGetVideoSyncSGI, glXWaitVideoSyncSGI, and
glXGetRefreshRateSGI to operate on the wrong screen when there are multiple X
screens.
* Fixed glXQueryVersion to report GLX version 1.4. NVIDIA's GLX version has
been 1.4 for several releases, and was already reported as 1.4 in the GLX
client and GLX server version strings.
* Fixed a problem that caused window border corruption when the screen is
rotated.
* Fixed a bug that causes corruption or GPU errors when an application
paints a redirected window whose background is set to ParentRelative on X.Org
servers older than 1.5. This was typically triggered by running Kopete while
using Compiz or Beryl.
* Added support for configuring the GPU PowerMizer Mode on GeForce 8 or
later GPUs with multiple performance levels via nvidia-settings and NV-CONTROL.
* Fixed a bug in VDPAU that could cause visible corruption when decoding
H.264 clips with alternating frame/field coded reference pictures, and a video
surface is concurrently removed from the DPB, and re-used as the decode target,
in a single decode operation. This affected all GPUs supported by VDPAU.
* Fixed a bug in VDPAU that could cause visible corruption near the bottom
edge of the picture when decoding VC-1 advanced profile clips whose heights are
not exact multiples of 16 pixels, on G98 and MCP7x (IGP) GPUs.
* Enhanced VDPAU to better handle corrupt/invalid H.264 bitstreams on G84,
G86, G92, G94, G96, or GT200 GPUs. This should prevent most cases of "display
preemption" that are caused by bitstream errors.
* Fixed an X server crash when using the VDPAU overlay-based presentation
queue and VT-switching away from the X server.
* Enhanced VDPAU's detection of the GPU's video decode capabilities.
* Fixed a bug in VDPAU that could cause ghosting/flashing issues when
decoding H.264 clips, in certain full DPB scenarios, on G98 and MCP7x.
* Fixed VDPAU to detect an attempt to destroy the VdpDevice object when
other device-owned objects still exist. VDPAU now triggers "display
preemption", and returns an error, when this occurs.
* Enhanced VDPAU's error handling and resource management in presentation
queue creation and operation. This change correctly propagates all errors back
to the client application, and avoids some resource leaks.
