  • Added support for the following GPUs:

  • Added support for xserver ABI 10 (xorg-server 1.10).
  • Added NV-CONTROL event notification for NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_SYNC_READY status changes.
  • Added a new X configuration option “Interactive”, which defaults to enabled, but can be disabled to allow long-running GPU compute programs to run concurrently with X.
  • Fixed a bug in the VDPAU presentation queue that could cause VDPAU “display preemption” when rendering to tiny or zero-sized windows or pixmaps.
  • Fixed a bug in VDPAU which prevented use of the overlay presentation
  • Fixed a bug in VDPAU that prevented the overlay from ever being used if a presentation queue was created while the target window was redirected using the Composite extension when the presentation queue was created.
  • Reorganized the NVIDIA driver’s /proc file system layout to better reflect current needs: /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0..N has been moved to /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0..N/information
