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

220    
221     Version 0.62 - 25 September 2008
222    
223     - XFdrake:
224     o set "PreferredMode" in Monitor section if the user changes the resolution
225     (we still do not use PreferredMode for the default resolution)
226    
227     Version 0.61 - 11 September 2008

245     o ensure we don't drop non-main "Device" (when modifying "Options", #41410)
246     o use nvidia-current default settings for nvidia173 as well
247     o no need to force XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps, it is the default now in
248     x11-server

250     Version 0.58 - 9 June 2008
251    
252     - XFdrake:

254     o do not create symlink /etc/X11/X to ../../usr/bin/Xorg (#41363)
255     o drop support for /etc/X11/XF86Config (replaced by xorg.conf for some time now)
256     - mousedrake:
257     o evdev and imwheel handle orthogonal things, so do use imwheel even if we
258     need evdev (#40088)
259    
260     Version 0.57 - 2 April 2008
261    
262     - XFdrake:

275     o in drakx-finish-install, keyboard is asked after asking country, so have a
276     good default based on country too (was done for pt_BR but not fr_XX)
277     (#39221)
278    
279     Version 0.53 - 21 March 2008
280    
281     - XFdrake:

299     o "ro" really is "ro(std_cedilla)"
300     (to be more standard on unpatched xkeyboard-config)
301     o "ro(us)" is wrong and not qwerty, use "ro(winkeys)" which is the only
302     qwertz from symbols/ro
303    
304     Version 0.50 - 11 March 2008
305    
306     - XFdrake:
307     o if the EDID gives a valid 16/10 preferred resolution (even if duplicated),
308     but no HorizSync/VertRefresh, use a generic flat panel
309     HorizSync/VertRefresh (needed for edid.lcd.dell-inspiron-6400, #37971)
310     o handle DRIVER2_NO_SSE (from Cards+), needed by nvidia-current requiring SSE
311    
312     Version 0.49 - 28 February 2008
313    
314     - XFdrake: background images are now jpeg files
315    
316     Version 0.48 - 28 February 2008

361    
362     - mousedrake:

364    
365     Version 0.40 - 10 December 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
366    
367     - XFdrake:
368     o never write a ModeLine when using fglrx driver (#30934)

415    
416     - monitor-probe-using-X can now return EDIDs. if Xorg find an EDID (whereas
417     monitor-get-edid-using-vbe failed), defaults to "Plug'n Play" monitor (ie
418     let Xorg do things automatically) instead of good_default_monitor.
419     (requires monitor-edid 1.12)
420     - fix typo in 0.30: do not use "Automatic" resolution by default in --auto
421    
422     Version 0.31 - 25 September 2007, by Thierry Vignaud

446     (useful for "Macintosh mouse button emulation" which has same vendor/product
447     as "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard")
448     (need drakxtools-backend 10.4.203)
449
