Ask for reboot instead of X restart, as it is commonly needed.
1 anssi 912 - add display_driver_helper script (used by XFdrake, udev, drakx, dkms)
2     - add/remove nokmsboot boot option as needed
3 anssi 913 - ask for reboot instead of X server restart, as it is commonly needed
4 anssi 912
5 dmorgan 866 Version 0.92 - 10 April 2011
6     - fix runned program in Keyboard.pm (#750)
7    
8 ennael 760 Version 0.91 - 30 March 2011
9    
10     - evdev needs to be loaded before calling getInputDevices_and_usb
11     else it will lead to a crash (pterjan)
12 dmorgan 391 - use UseEdid instead of IgnoreEDID with nvidia96xx since the latter is
13     obsolete (#40006)
14     - remove "3D hardware acceleration" from the UI, it will always be enabled
15     by default since we unconditionnally add the "dri" module to xorg.conf now
16     (#58933)
17    
18     Version 0.90 - 26 May 2010
19    
20     - translation updates
21    
22     Version 0.89 - 11 May 2010
23    
24     - mouse:
25     o remove imwheel support
26    
27     Version 0.88 - 25 February 2010
28    
29     - rename wacom driver package to its current name
30     - remove obsoleted video drivers from video driver list, add some new ones
31    
32     Version 0.87 - 9 February 2010
33    
34     - XFdrake:
35     o use -X option for ldconfig when switching alternatives, we only need the
36     cache rebuilt (Anssi Hannula)
37     o do not disable Composite extension by default when using fglrx driver
38     (Anssi Hannula)
39     o do not disable loading of dri module for non-glx drivers, as KMS drivers
40     require it as well
41     o do not disable loading of glx module for fbdev, in order to allow AIGLX
42     to work in software rasterizer mode
43     o do not add dbe and extmod modules to xorg.conf anymore, they are loaded
44     by default anyway
45    
46     Version 0.86 - 26 November 2009
47    
48     - keyboarddrake:
49     o make sure to properly init the console keymap before dumping it during
50     initial configuration, should fix console keymap setting in finish-install
51    
52     Version 0.85 - 22 October 2009
53    
54     - mousedrake:
55     o fix input module path on 64 bit machines
56     o don't install input drivers if X isn't here
57     - XFdrake:
58     o enable ctrl+alt+backspace by default
59    
60     Version 0.84 - 9 October 2009
61    
62     - run ldconfig after update-alternatives during installer too
63     (psb alternative does not have a higher priority than standard
64     alternative, and ldconfig was run by the installer only before
65     manually setting the alternative, which was not enough)
66    
67     Version 0.83 - 8 October 2009
68    
69     - use 28.8kHz as lower HorizSync (for 800x480)
70    
71     Version 0.82 - 23 September 2009
72    
73     - don't consider xorg.conf files with no InputDevice sections as invalid, fixes bug reported on cooker mailing list
74    
75     Version 0.81 - 23 September 2009
76    
77     - add psb driver support (for Poulsbo chipset)
78    
79     Version 0.80 - 22 September 2009
80    
81     - XFdrake:
82     o don't write sections in xorg.conf for USB wacom tablets, Synaptics
83     touchpads, mouses using "evdev" or "mouse" and keyboards
84    
85     Version 0.79 - 14 September 2009
86    
87     - XFdrake:
88     o fix DontZap option issue with old xorg.conf files
89     - allow to skip framebuffer setup (and thus splash removal) for newer
90     harddrake releases
91    
92     Version 0.78 - 9 September 2009
93    
94     - XFdrake:
95     o added "Disable Ctrl-Alt-Backspace" option
96    
97     Version 0.77 - 22 July 2009
98    
99     - XFdrake:
100     o correctly detect proprietary drivers that are located in
101     /usr/lib/drivername/xorg (#52384)
102    
103     Version 0.76 - 25 June 2009
104    
105     - keyboarddrake:
106     o update the xkb HAL keys when the keyboard layout is changed so that it
107     persists after a X server restart. Bug #49725
108     - XFdrake:
109     o when probing for video cards, ignore cards which are not in the VIDEO_VGA
110     PCI class (it is pretty common for dual-head ATI cards to have a
111     VIDEO_OTHER device for example). This has the potential of breaking
112     dual head setups, so it needs careful testing in Cooker ;) See bug #48028
113     o fix crash when both monitor and driver can not be probed (in
114     harddrake service or XFdrake --auto), for example with some Quanta
115     IL1 netbooks using Chrome9 IC3
116    
117     Version 0.74 - 22 April 2009
118    
119     - mousedrake:
120     o fix vmmouse configuration for vmware (#49654)
121    
122     Version 0.73 - 21 April 2009
123    
124     - tweak Intel driver accel methods in xorg.conf so that it's more consistent
125     with what the new Intel driver expects.
126    
127     Version 0.72 - 15 April 2009
128    
129     - XFdrake:
130     o fix selecting proprietary drivers with xdriver=DRIVER boot option
131     o do not add Load "freetype" to xorg.conf as the module does not exist
132     anymore
133     o use Plug'n'Play monitor when in vbox and don't specify any default
134     resolution, fixes #49642
135    
136     Version 0.71 - 2 April 2009
137    
138     - XFdrake:
139     o add support for xdriver=DRIVER kernel boot option that affects
140     non-interactive device autodetection, e.g. One boot
141     (special value xdriver=free disables proprietary drivers)
142     o add nouveau driver into the driver list
143    
144     Version 0.70 - 20 March 2009
145    
146     - mousedrake:
147     o configure input driver as 'vmmouse' if running in vmware (#29106)
148     o test if the file is there before trying to install the packages, that saves
149     a rpm -q in harddrake service after adding/removing/changing a mouse
150     - XFdrake:
151     o adapt for recent changes in proprietary driver alternatives
152    
153     Version 0.69 - 29 January 2009
154    
155     - XFdrake:
156     o use option -noAutoAddDevices when testing X
157     (useful during installation, #47237)
158    
159     Version 0.68 - 28 January 2009
160    
161     - keyboarddrake:
162     o bug fix: overwrite previous /etc/sysconfig/keyboard Xkb information when
163     changing keyboard
164    
165     Version 0.67 - 8 January 2009
166    
167     - mousedrake:
168     o synaptics driver in now in package x11-driver-input-synaptics (#45531)
169    
170     Version 0.66 - 18 December 2008
171    
172     - keyboarddrake:
173     o do not configure hal directly, but write in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard Xkb
174     information so hal can get them
175     o new option "--migrate" which adds Xkb information in
176     /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
177     o correctly handle default XkbModel
178     (so that we do not force pc105 when we should not)
179    
180     Version 0.65 - 8 December 2008
181    
182     - keyboarddrake:
183     o configure hal so Xorg can get xkb info
184     (nb: for now, you must "service haldaemon restart" to be taken into account)
185     - XFdrake:
186     o generic flat planel must allow "800x480 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 29.82 kHz"
187     so "HorizSync 31.5-90" is too strict, generating "HorizSync 29.5-90"
188     o have Option "PanelGeometry" "XXxYY" on geode driver
189     o do not display the weird ratios 128/75, 85/48 (for 1024x600 and 1360x768)
190     o do not load "Type1" module by default (disabled in xserver-1.5.x)
191     o special hack for gdium: the "default monitor" is "Plug'n Play" instead of
192     good_default_monitor() (it will work since the resolution is passed to the
193     kernel on gdium)
194     o there is no reason "automatic" resolution should imply "automatic" color
195     depth
196     - mousedrake, XFdrake:
197     o do not use /dev/mouse symlink (in xorg.conf)
198     - mousedrake
199     o do not propose to test the chosen mice
200     (it doesn't handle evdev/synaptics and so is quite obsolete nowadays)
201    
202     Version 0.64 - 1 October 2008
203    
204     - XFdrake:
205     o explicitly Load or Disable module "dri"

213    
214     - XFdrake:
215     o set "PreferredMode" in Monitor section if the user changes the resolution
216     (we still do not use PreferredMode for the default resolution)

242    
243     - XFdrake:

245     o do not create symlink /etc/X11/X to ../../usr/bin/Xorg (#41363)
246     o drop support for /etc/X11/XF86Config (replaced by xorg.conf for some time now)
247     - mousedrake:
248     o evdev and imwheel handle orthogonal things, so do use imwheel even if we
249     need evdev (#40088)
250    
251     Version 0.57 - 2 April 2008
252

267     good default based on country too (was done for pt_BR but not fr_XX)
268     (#39221)
269    
270     Version 0.53 - 21 March 2008
271    
272     - XFdrake:

290     o "ro" really is "ro(std_cedilla)"
291     (to be more standard on unpatched xkeyboard-config)
292     o "ro(us)" is wrong and not qwerty, use "ro(winkeys)" which is the only
293     qwertz from symbols/ro
294    
295     Version 0.50 - 11 March 2008
296    
297     - XFdrake:
298     o if the EDID gives a valid 16/10 preferred resolution (even if duplicated),
299     but no HorizSync/VertRefresh, use a generic flat panel
300     HorizSync/VertRefresh (needed for edid.lcd.dell-inspiron-6400, #37971)
301     o handle DRIVER2_NO_SSE (from Cards+), needed by nvidia-current requiring SSE
302    
303     Version 0.49 - 28 February 2008

356     Version 0.40 - 10 December 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
357    
358     - XFdrake:
359     o never write a ModeLine when using fglrx driver (#30934)

406    
407     - monitor-probe-using-X can now return EDIDs. if Xorg find an EDID (whereas
408     monitor-get-edid-using-vbe failed), defaults to "Plug'n Play" monitor (ie
409     let Xorg do things automatically) instead of good_default_monitor.
410     (requires monitor-edid 1.12)
411     - fix typo in 0.30: do not use "Automatic" resolution by default in --auto
412    
413     Version 0.31 - 25 September 2007, by Thierry Vignaud

433    
434     Version 0.27 - 19 September 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
435    
436     - for evdev configured mice, specify bustype
437     (useful for "Macintosh mouse button emulation" which has same vendor/product
438     as "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard")
439     (need drakxtools-backend 10.4.203)
440    
441     Version 0.26 - 17 September 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
442
