Try unloading unconfigured drivers in "display_driver_helper --check-loaded".
1 anssi 958 - disable debug output of display_driver_helper by default
2 anssi 959 - fix ahead-of-X-server loading of proprietary and fglrx kernel modules
3 anssi 961 - try unloading unconfigured drivers in "display_driver_helper --check-loaded"
4 anssi 958
5 anssi 914 Version 0.93 - 17 April 2011
6    
7 anssi 912 - add display_driver_helper script (used by XFdrake, udev, drakx, dkms)
8     - add/remove nokmsboot boot option as needed
9 anssi 913 - ask for reboot instead of X server restart, as it is commonly needed
10 anssi 912
11 dmorgan 866 Version 0.92 - 10 April 2011
12 anssi 914
13 dmorgan 866 - fix runned program in Keyboard.pm (#750)
14    
15 ennael 760 Version 0.91 - 30 March 2011
16    
17     - evdev needs to be loaded before calling getInputDevices_and_usb
18     else it will lead to a crash (pterjan)
19 dmorgan 391 - use UseEdid instead of IgnoreEDID with nvidia96xx since the latter is
20     obsolete (#40006)
21     - remove "3D hardware acceleration" from the UI, it will always be enabled
22     by default since we unconditionnally add the "dri" module to xorg.conf now
23     (#58933)
24    
25     Version 0.90 - 26 May 2010
26    
27     - translation updates
28    
29     Version 0.89 - 11 May 2010
30    
31     - mouse:
32     o remove imwheel support
33    
34     Version 0.88 - 25 February 2010
35    
36     - rename wacom driver package to its current name
37     - remove obsoleted video drivers from video driver list, add some new ones
38    
39     Version 0.87 - 9 February 2010
40    
41     - XFdrake:
42     o use -X option for ldconfig when switching alternatives, we only need the
43     cache rebuilt (Anssi Hannula)
44     o do not disable Composite extension by default when using fglrx driver
45     (Anssi Hannula)
46     o do not disable loading of dri module for non-glx drivers, as KMS drivers
47     require it as well
48     o do not disable loading of glx module for fbdev, in order to allow AIGLX
49     to work in software rasterizer mode
50     o do not add dbe and extmod modules to xorg.conf anymore, they are loaded
51     by default anyway
52    
53     Version 0.86 - 26 November 2009
54    
55     - keyboarddrake:
56     o make sure to properly init the console keymap before dumping it during
57     initial configuration, should fix console keymap setting in finish-install
58    
59     Version 0.85 - 22 October 2009
60    
61     - mousedrake:
62     o fix input module path on 64 bit machines
63     o don't install input drivers if X isn't here
64     - XFdrake:
65     o enable ctrl+alt+backspace by default
66    
67     Version 0.84 - 9 October 2009
68    
69     - run ldconfig after update-alternatives during installer too
70     (psb alternative does not have a higher priority than standard
71     alternative, and ldconfig was run by the installer only before
72     manually setting the alternative, which was not enough)
73    
74     Version 0.83 - 8 October 2009
75    
76     - use 28.8kHz as lower HorizSync (for 800x480)
77    
78     Version 0.82 - 23 September 2009
79    
80     - don't consider xorg.conf files with no InputDevice sections as invalid, fixes bug reported on cooker mailing list
81    
82     Version 0.81 - 23 September 2009
83    
84     - add psb driver support (for Poulsbo chipset)
85    
86     Version 0.80 - 22 September 2009
87    
88     - XFdrake:
89     o don't write sections in xorg.conf for USB wacom tablets, Synaptics
90     touchpads, mouses using "evdev" or "mouse" and keyboards
91    
92     Version 0.79 - 14 September 2009
93    
94     - XFdrake:
95     o fix DontZap option issue with old xorg.conf files
96     - allow to skip framebuffer setup (and thus splash removal) for newer
97     harddrake releases
98    
99     Version 0.78 - 9 September 2009
100    
101     - XFdrake:
102     o added "Disable Ctrl-Alt-Backspace" option
103    
104     Version 0.77 - 22 July 2009
105    
106     - XFdrake:
107     o correctly detect proprietary drivers that are located in
108     /usr/lib/drivername/xorg (#52384)
109    
110     Version 0.76 - 25 June 2009
111    
112     - keyboarddrake:
113     o update the xkb HAL keys when the keyboard layout is changed so that it
114     persists after a X server restart. Bug #49725
115     - XFdrake:
116     o when probing for video cards, ignore cards which are not in the VIDEO_VGA
117     PCI class (it is pretty common for dual-head ATI cards to have a
118     VIDEO_OTHER device for example). This has the potential of breaking
119     dual head setups, so it needs careful testing in Cooker ;) See bug #48028
120     o fix crash when both monitor and driver can not be probed (in
121     harddrake service or XFdrake --auto), for example with some Quanta
122     IL1 netbooks using Chrome9 IC3
123    
124     Version 0.74 - 22 April 2009
125    
126     - mousedrake:
127     o fix vmmouse configuration for vmware (#49654)
128    
129     Version 0.73 - 21 April 2009
130    
131     - tweak Intel driver accel methods in xorg.conf so that it's more consistent
132     with what the new Intel driver expects.
133    
134     Version 0.72 - 15 April 2009
135    
136     - XFdrake:
137     o fix selecting proprietary drivers with xdriver=DRIVER boot option
138     o do not add Load "freetype" to xorg.conf as the module does not exist
139     anymore
140     o use Plug'n'Play monitor when in vbox and don't specify any default
141     resolution, fixes #49642
142    
143     Version 0.71 - 2 April 2009
144    
145     - XFdrake:
146     o add support for xdriver=DRIVER kernel boot option that affects
147     non-interactive device autodetection, e.g. One boot
148     (special value xdriver=free disables proprietary drivers)
149     o add nouveau driver into the driver list
150    
151     Version 0.70 - 20 March 2009
152    
153     - mousedrake:
154     o configure input driver as 'vmmouse' if running in vmware (#29106)
155     o test if the file is there before trying to install the packages, that saves
156     a rpm -q in harddrake service after adding/removing/changing a mouse
157     - XFdrake:
158     o adapt for recent changes in proprietary driver alternatives
159    
160     Version 0.69 - 29 January 2009
161    
162     - XFdrake:
163     o use option -noAutoAddDevices when testing X
164     (useful during installation, #47237)
165    
166     Version 0.68 - 28 January 2009
167    
168     - keyboarddrake:
169     o bug fix: overwrite previous /etc/sysconfig/keyboard Xkb information when
170     changing keyboard
171    
172     Version 0.67 - 8 January 2009
173    
174     - mousedrake:
175     o synaptics driver in now in package x11-driver-input-synaptics (#45531)
176    
177     Version 0.66 - 18 December 2008
178    
179     - keyboarddrake:
180     o do not configure hal directly, but write in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard Xkb
181     information so hal can get them
182     o new option "--migrate" which adds Xkb information in
183     /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
184     o correctly handle default XkbModel
185     (so that we do not force pc105 when we should not)
186    
187     Version 0.65 - 8 December 2008
188    
189     - keyboarddrake:
190     o configure hal so Xorg can get xkb info
191     (nb: for now, you must "service haldaemon restart" to be taken into account)
192     - XFdrake:
193     o generic flat planel must allow "800x480 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 29.82 kHz"
194     so "HorizSync 31.5-90" is too strict, generating "HorizSync 29.5-90"
195     o have Option "PanelGeometry" "XXxYY" on geode driver
196     o do not display the weird ratios 128/75, 85/48 (for 1024x600 and 1360x768)
197     o do not load "Type1" module by default (disabled in xserver-1.5.x)
198     o special hack for gdium: the "default monitor" is "Plug'n Play" instead of
199     good_default_monitor() (it will work since the resolution is passed to the
200     kernel on gdium)
201     o there is no reason "automatic" resolution should imply "automatic" color
202     depth
203     - mousedrake, XFdrake:
204     o do not use /dev/mouse symlink (in xorg.conf)
205     - mousedrake
206     o do not propose to test the chosen mice
207     (it doesn't handle evdev/synaptics and so is quite obsolete nowadays)
208    
209     Version 0.64 - 1 October 2008
210    
211     - XFdrake:
212     o explicitly Load or Disable module "dri"

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

249    
250     - XFdrake:

252     o do not create symlink /etc/X11/X to ../../usr/bin/Xorg (#41363)
253     o drop support for /etc/X11/XF86Config (replaced by xorg.conf for some time now)
254     - mousedrake:
255     o evdev and imwheel handle orthogonal things, so do use imwheel even if we
256     need evdev (#40088)
257    
258     Version 0.57 - 2 April 2008
259

297     o "ro" really is "ro(std_cedilla)"
298     (to be more standard on unpatched xkeyboard-config)
299     o "ro(us)" is wrong and not qwerty, use "ro(winkeys)" which is the only
300     qwertz from symbols/ro
301    
302     Version 0.50 - 11 March 2008
303    
304     - XFdrake:
305     o if the EDID gives a valid 16/10 preferred resolution (even if duplicated),

307     HorizSync/VertRefresh (needed for edid.lcd.dell-inspiron-6400, #37971)
308     o handle DRIVER2_NO_SSE (from Cards+), needed by nvidia-current requiring SSE
309    
310     Version 0.49 - 28 February 2008

364    
365     - XFdrake:
366     o never write a ModeLine when using fglrx driver (#30934)

413    
414     - monitor-probe-using-X can now return EDIDs. if Xorg find an EDID (whereas
415     monitor-get-edid-using-vbe failed), defaults to "Plug'n Play" monitor (ie
416     let Xorg do things automatically) instead of good_default_monitor.
417     (requires monitor-edid 1.12)
418     - fix typo in 0.30: do not use "Automatic" resolution by default in --auto
419
