1 anssi 958 - disable debug output of display_driver_helper by default
2    
3 anssi 914 Version 0.93 - 17 April 2011
4    
5 anssi 912 - add display_driver_helper script (used by XFdrake, udev, drakx, dkms)
6     - add/remove nokmsboot boot option as needed
7 anssi 913 - ask for reboot instead of X server restart, as it is commonly needed
8 anssi 912
9 dmorgan 866 Version 0.92 - 10 April 2011
10 anssi 914
11 dmorgan 866 - fix runned program in Keyboard.pm (#750)
12    
13 ennael 760 Version 0.91 - 30 March 2011
14    
15     - evdev needs to be loaded before calling getInputDevices_and_usb
16     else it will lead to a crash (pterjan)
17 dmorgan 391 - use UseEdid instead of IgnoreEDID with nvidia96xx since the latter is
18     obsolete (#40006)
19     - remove "3D hardware acceleration" from the UI, it will always be enabled
20     by default since we unconditionnally add the "dri" module to xorg.conf now
21     (#58933)
22    
23     Version 0.90 - 26 May 2010
24    
25     - translation updates
26    
27     Version 0.89 - 11 May 2010
28    
29     - mouse:
30     o remove imwheel support
31    
32     Version 0.88 - 25 February 2010
33    
34     - rename wacom driver package to its current name
35     - remove obsoleted video drivers from video driver list, add some new ones
36    
37     Version 0.87 - 9 February 2010
38    
39     - XFdrake:
40     o use -X option for ldconfig when switching alternatives, we only need the
41     cache rebuilt (Anssi Hannula)
42     o do not disable Composite extension by default when using fglrx driver
43     (Anssi Hannula)
44     o do not disable loading of dri module for non-glx drivers, as KMS drivers
45     require it as well
46     o do not disable loading of glx module for fbdev, in order to allow AIGLX
47     to work in software rasterizer mode
48     o do not add dbe and extmod modules to xorg.conf anymore, they are loaded
49     by default anyway
50    
51     Version 0.86 - 26 November 2009
52    
53     - keyboarddrake:
54     o make sure to properly init the console keymap before dumping it during
55     initial configuration, should fix console keymap setting in finish-install
56    
57     Version 0.85 - 22 October 2009
58    
59     - mousedrake:
60     o fix input module path on 64 bit machines
61     o don't install input drivers if X isn't here
62     - XFdrake:
63     o enable ctrl+alt+backspace by default
64    
65     Version 0.84 - 9 October 2009
66    
67     - run ldconfig after update-alternatives during installer too
68     (psb alternative does not have a higher priority than standard
69     alternative, and ldconfig was run by the installer only before
70     manually setting the alternative, which was not enough)
71    
72     Version 0.83 - 8 October 2009
73    
74     - use 28.8kHz as lower HorizSync (for 800x480)
75    
76     Version 0.82 - 23 September 2009
77    
78     - don't consider xorg.conf files with no InputDevice sections as invalid, fixes bug reported on cooker mailing list
79    
80     Version 0.81 - 23 September 2009
81    
82     - add psb driver support (for Poulsbo chipset)
83    
84     Version 0.80 - 22 September 2009
85    
86     - XFdrake:
87     o don't write sections in xorg.conf for USB wacom tablets, Synaptics
88     touchpads, mouses using "evdev" or "mouse" and keyboards
89    
90     Version 0.79 - 14 September 2009
91    
92     - XFdrake:
93     o fix DontZap option issue with old xorg.conf files
94     - allow to skip framebuffer setup (and thus splash removal) for newer
95     harddrake releases
96    
97     Version 0.78 - 9 September 2009
98    
99     - XFdrake:
100     o added "Disable Ctrl-Alt-Backspace" option
101    
102     Version 0.77 - 22 July 2009
103    
104     - XFdrake:
105     o correctly detect proprietary drivers that are located in
106     /usr/lib/drivername/xorg (#52384)
107    
108     Version 0.76 - 25 June 2009
109    
110     - keyboarddrake:
111     o update the xkb HAL keys when the keyboard layout is changed so that it
112     persists after a X server restart. Bug #49725
113     - XFdrake:
114     o when probing for video cards, ignore cards which are not in the VIDEO_VGA
115     PCI class (it is pretty common for dual-head ATI cards to have a
116     VIDEO_OTHER device for example). This has the potential of breaking
117     dual head setups, so it needs careful testing in Cooker ;) See bug #48028
118     o fix crash when both monitor and driver can not be probed (in
119     harddrake service or XFdrake --auto), for example with some Quanta
120     IL1 netbooks using Chrome9 IC3
121    
122     Version 0.74 - 22 April 2009
123    
124     - mousedrake:
125     o fix vmmouse configuration for vmware (#49654)
126    
127     Version 0.73 - 21 April 2009
128    
129     - tweak Intel driver accel methods in xorg.conf so that it's more consistent
130     with what the new Intel driver expects.
131    
132     Version 0.72 - 15 April 2009
133    
134     - XFdrake:
135     o fix selecting proprietary drivers with xdriver=DRIVER boot option
136     o do not add Load "freetype" to xorg.conf as the module does not exist
137     anymore
138     o use Plug'n'Play monitor when in vbox and don't specify any default
139     resolution, fixes #49642
140    
141     Version 0.71 - 2 April 2009
142    
143     - XFdrake:
144     o add support for xdriver=DRIVER kernel boot option that affects
145     non-interactive device autodetection, e.g. One boot
146     (special value xdriver=free disables proprietary drivers)
147     o add nouveau driver into the driver list
148    
149     Version 0.70 - 20 March 2009
150    
151     - mousedrake:
152     o configure input driver as 'vmmouse' if running in vmware (#29106)
153     o test if the file is there before trying to install the packages, that saves
154     a rpm -q in harddrake service after adding/removing/changing a mouse
155     - XFdrake:
156     o adapt for recent changes in proprietary driver alternatives
157    
158     Version 0.69 - 29 January 2009
159    
160     - XFdrake:
161     o use option -noAutoAddDevices when testing X
162     (useful during installation, #47237)
163    
164     Version 0.68 - 28 January 2009
165    
166     - keyboarddrake:
167     o bug fix: overwrite previous /etc/sysconfig/keyboard Xkb information when
168     changing keyboard
169    
170     Version 0.67 - 8 January 2009
171    
172     - mousedrake:
173     o synaptics driver in now in package x11-driver-input-synaptics (#45531)
174    
175     Version 0.66 - 18 December 2008
176    
177     - keyboarddrake:
178     o do not configure hal directly, but write in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard Xkb
179     information so hal can get them
180     o new option "--migrate" which adds Xkb information in
181     /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
182     o correctly handle default XkbModel
183     (so that we do not force pc105 when we should not)
184    
185     Version 0.65 - 8 December 2008
186    
187     - keyboarddrake:
188     o configure hal so Xorg can get xkb info
189     (nb: for now, you must "service haldaemon restart" to be taken into account)
190     - XFdrake:
191     o generic flat planel must allow "800x480 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 29.82 kHz"
192     so "HorizSync 31.5-90" is too strict, generating "HorizSync 29.5-90"
193     o have Option "PanelGeometry" "XXxYY" on geode driver
194     o do not display the weird ratios 128/75, 85/48 (for 1024x600 and 1360x768)
195     o do not load "Type1" module by default (disabled in xserver-1.5.x)
196     o special hack for gdium: the "default monitor" is "Plug'n Play" instead of
197     good_default_monitor() (it will work since the resolution is passed to the
198     kernel on gdium)
199     o there is no reason "automatic" resolution should imply "automatic" color
200     depth
201     - mousedrake, XFdrake:
202     o do not use /dev/mouse symlink (in xorg.conf)
203     - mousedrake
204     o do not propose to test the chosen mice
205     (it doesn't handle evdev/synaptics and so is quite obsolete nowadays)
206    
207     Version 0.64 - 1 October 2008
208    
209     - XFdrake:
210     o explicitly Load or Disable module "dri"

218    
219     - XFdrake:
220     o set "PreferredMode" in Monitor section if the user changes the resolution
221     (we still do not use PreferredMode for the default resolution)

247    
248     - XFdrake:

250     o do not create symlink /etc/X11/X to ../../usr/bin/Xorg (#41363)
251     o drop support for /etc/X11/XF86Config (replaced by xorg.conf for some time now)
252     - mousedrake:
253     o evdev and imwheel handle orthogonal things, so do use imwheel even if we
254     need evdev (#40088)
255    
256     Version 0.57 - 2 April 2008
257

271     o in drakx-finish-install, keyboard is asked after asking country, so have a
272     good default based on country too (was done for pt_BR but not fr_XX)
273     (#39221)
274    
275     Version 0.53 - 21 March 2008
276    
277     - XFdrake:

295     o "ro" really is "ro(std_cedilla)"
296     (to be more standard on unpatched xkeyboard-config)
297     o "ro(us)" is wrong and not qwerty, use "ro(winkeys)" which is the only
298     qwertz from symbols/ro
299    
300     Version 0.50 - 11 March 2008
301    
302     - XFdrake:
303     o if the EDID gives a valid 16/10 preferred resolution (even if duplicated),
304     but no HorizSync/VertRefresh, use a generic flat panel
305     HorizSync/VertRefresh (needed for edid.lcd.dell-inspiron-6400, #37971)
306     o handle DRIVER2_NO_SSE (from Cards+), needed by nvidia-current requiring SSE
307    
308     Version 0.49 - 28 February 2008

357    
358     - mousedrake:

360    
361     Version 0.40 - 10 December 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
362    
363     - XFdrake:
364     o never write a ModeLine when using fglrx driver (#30934)

411    
412     - monitor-probe-using-X can now return EDIDs. if Xorg find an EDID (whereas
413     monitor-get-edid-using-vbe failed), defaults to "Plug'n Play" monitor (ie
414     let Xorg do things automatically) instead of good_default_monitor.
415     (requires monitor-edid 1.12)
416     - fix typo in 0.30: do not use "Automatic" resolution by default in --auto
417    
418     Version 0.31 - 25 September 2007, by Thierry Vignaud

437     - fix regression in 0.24: remove bogus duplicates in monitors tree (#33778)
438    
439     Version 0.27 - 19 September 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

441     - for evdev configured mice, specify bustype
442     (useful for "Macintosh mouse button emulation" which has same vendor/product
443     as "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard")
444     (need drakxtools-backend 10.4.203)
445
