Do not try to probe monitor information via X server on laptops (it
doesn't work with recent X servers).
1 - display_driver_helper: do not load radeon driver if the proprietary
2 driver is temporarily disabled on a PowerXpress system
3 - prefer boot display devices when probing cards (fixes at least an issue
4 with an SLI laptop as reported by Maarten Vanraes)
5 - add support for Asturian keyboard
6 - do not try to probe monitor information via X server on laptops (it
7 doesn't work with recent X servers)
8
9 Version 0.95 - 23 April 2011
10
11 - harddrake: configure default resolution (and background) even if card
12 configuration fails (useful if vbox video driver is not available)
13
14 Version 0.94 - 20 April 2011
15
16 - disable debug output of display_driver_helper by default
17 - fix ahead-of-X-server loading of proprietary and fglrx kernel modules
18 - try unloading unconfigured drivers in "display_driver_helper --check-loaded"
19
20 Version 0.93 - 17 April 2011
21
22 - add display_driver_helper script (used by XFdrake, udev, drakx, dkms)
23 - add/remove nokmsboot boot option as needed
24 - ask for reboot instead of X server restart, as it is commonly needed
25
26 Version 0.92 - 10 April 2011
27
28 - fix runned program in Keyboard.pm (#750)
29
30 Version 0.91 - 30 March 2011
31
32 - evdev needs to be loaded before calling getInputDevices_and_usb
33 else it will lead to a crash (pterjan)
34 - use UseEdid instead of IgnoreEDID with nvidia96xx since the latter is
35 obsolete (#40006)
36 - remove "3D hardware acceleration" from the UI, it will always be enabled
37 by default since we unconditionnally add the "dri" module to xorg.conf now
38 (#58933)
39
40 Version 0.90 - 26 May 2010
41
42 - translation updates
43
44 Version 0.89 - 11 May 2010
45
46 - mouse:
47 o remove imwheel support
48
49 Version 0.88 - 25 February 2010
50
51 - rename wacom driver package to its current name
52 - remove obsoleted video drivers from video driver list, add some new ones
53
54 Version 0.87 - 9 February 2010
55
56 - XFdrake:
57 o use -X option for ldconfig when switching alternatives, we only need the
58 cache rebuilt (Anssi Hannula)
59 o do not disable Composite extension by default when using fglrx driver
60 (Anssi Hannula)
61 o do not disable loading of dri module for non-glx drivers, as KMS drivers
62 require it as well
63 o do not disable loading of glx module for fbdev, in order to allow AIGLX
64 to work in software rasterizer mode
65 o do not add dbe and extmod modules to xorg.conf anymore, they are loaded
66 by default anyway
67
68 Version 0.86 - 26 November 2009
69
70 - keyboarddrake:
71 o make sure to properly init the console keymap before dumping it during
72 initial configuration, should fix console keymap setting in finish-install
73
74 Version 0.85 - 22 October 2009
75
76 - mousedrake:
77 o fix input module path on 64 bit machines
78 o don't install input drivers if X isn't here
79 - XFdrake:
80 o enable ctrl+alt+backspace by default
81
82 Version 0.84 - 9 October 2009
83
84 - run ldconfig after update-alternatives during installer too
85 (psb alternative does not have a higher priority than standard
86 alternative, and ldconfig was run by the installer only before
87 manually setting the alternative, which was not enough)
88
89 Version 0.83 - 8 October 2009
90

92
93 Version 0.82 - 23 September 2009
94
95 - don't consider xorg.conf files with no InputDevice sections as invalid, fixes bug reported on cooker mailing list
96
97 Version 0.81 - 23 September 2009
98
99 - add psb driver support (for Poulsbo chipset)
100
101 Version 0.80 - 22 September 2009
102
103 - XFdrake:
104 o don't write sections in xorg.conf for USB wacom tablets, Synaptics
105 touchpads, mouses using "evdev" or "mouse" and keyboards
106
107 Version 0.79 - 14 September 2009
108
109 - XFdrake:
110 o fix DontZap option issue with old xorg.conf files
111 - allow to skip framebuffer setup (and thus splash removal) for newer
112 harddrake releases
113
114 Version 0.78 - 9 September 2009
115
116 - XFdrake:
117 o added "Disable Ctrl-Alt-Backspace" option
118
119 Version 0.77 - 22 July 2009
120
121 - XFdrake:
122 o correctly detect proprietary drivers that are located in
123 /usr/lib/drivername/xorg (#52384)
124
125 Version 0.76 - 25 June 2009
126
127 - keyboarddrake:
128 o update the xkb HAL keys when the keyboard layout is changed so that it
129 persists after a X server restart. Bug #49725
130 - XFdrake:
131 o when probing for video cards, ignore cards which are not in the VIDEO_VGA
132 PCI class (it is pretty common for dual-head ATI cards to have a
133 VIDEO_OTHER device for example). This has the potential of breaking
134 dual head setups, so it needs careful testing in Cooker ;) See bug #48028
135 o fix crash when both monitor and driver can not be probed (in
136 harddrake service or XFdrake --auto), for example with some Quanta
137 IL1 netbooks using Chrome9 IC3
138
139 Version 0.74 - 22 April 2009
140
141 - mousedrake:
142 o fix vmmouse configuration for vmware (#49654)
143
144 Version 0.73 - 21 April 2009
145
146 - tweak Intel driver accel methods in xorg.conf so that it's more consistent
147 with what the new Intel driver expects.
148
149 Version 0.72 - 15 April 2009
150
151 - XFdrake:
152 o fix selecting proprietary drivers with xdriver=DRIVER boot option
153 o do not add Load "freetype" to xorg.conf as the module does not exist
154 anymore
155 o use Plug'n'Play monitor when in vbox and don't specify any default
156 resolution, fixes #49642
157
158 Version 0.71 - 2 April 2009
159
160 - XFdrake:
161 o add support for xdriver=DRIVER kernel boot option that affects
162 non-interactive device autodetection, e.g. One boot
163 (special value xdriver=free disables proprietary drivers)
164 o add nouveau driver into the driver list
165
166 Version 0.70 - 20 March 2009
167
168 - mousedrake:
169 o configure input driver as 'vmmouse' if running in vmware (#29106)
170 o test if the file is there before trying to install the packages, that saves
171 a rpm -q in harddrake service after adding/removing/changing a mouse
172 - XFdrake:
173 o adapt for recent changes in proprietary driver alternatives
174
175 Version 0.69 - 29 January 2009
176
177 - XFdrake:
178 o use option -noAutoAddDevices when testing X
179 (useful during installation, #47237)
180
181 Version 0.68 - 28 January 2009
182
183 - keyboarddrake:
184 o bug fix: overwrite previous /etc/sysconfig/keyboard Xkb information when
185 changing keyboard
186
187 Version 0.67 - 8 January 2009
188
189 - mousedrake:
190 o synaptics driver in now in package x11-driver-input-synaptics (#45531)
191
192 Version 0.66 - 18 December 2008
193
194 - keyboarddrake:
195 o do not configure hal directly, but write in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard Xkb
196 information so hal can get them
197 o new option "--migrate" which adds Xkb information in
198 /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
199 o correctly handle default XkbModel
200 (so that we do not force pc105 when we should not)
201
202 Version 0.65 - 8 December 2008
203
204 - keyboarddrake:
205 o configure hal so Xorg can get xkb info
206 (nb: for now, you must "service haldaemon restart" to be taken into account)
207 - XFdrake:
208 o generic flat planel must allow "800x480 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 29.82 kHz"
209 so "HorizSync 31.5-90" is too strict, generating "HorizSync 29.5-90"
210 o have Option "PanelGeometry" "XXxYY" on geode driver
211 o do not display the weird ratios 128/75, 85/48 (for 1024x600 and 1360x768)
212 o do not load "Type1" module by default (disabled in xserver-1.5.x)
213 o special hack for gdium: the "default monitor" is "Plug'n Play" instead of
214 good_default_monitor() (it will work since the resolution is passed to the
215 kernel on gdium)
216 o there is no reason "automatic" resolution should imply "automatic" color
217 depth
218 - mousedrake, XFdrake:
219 o do not use /dev/mouse symlink (in xorg.conf)
220 - mousedrake
221 o do not propose to test the chosen mice
222 (it doesn't handle evdev/synaptics and so is quite obsolete nowadays)
223
224 Version 0.64 - 1 October 2008
225
226 - XFdrake:
227 o explicitly Load or Disable module "dri"
228 (to be independent of Xorg's default choice)

233
234 Version 0.62 - 25 September 2008

258 o ensure we don't drop non-main "Device" (when modifying "Options", #41410)
259 o use nvidia-current default settings for nvidia173 as well
260 o no need to force XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps, it is the default now in
261 x11-server
262
263 Version 0.58 - 9 June 2008
264
265 - XFdrake:
266 o Composite is now the default in xserver 1.4 (#35043)

317 Version 0.50 - 11 March 2008
318
319 - XFdrake:
320 o if the EDID gives a valid 16/10 preferred resolution (even if duplicated),

455
456 Version 0.27 - 19 September 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
457
458 - for evdev configured mice, specify bustype
459 (useful for "Macintosh mouse button emulation" which has same vendor/product
460 as "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard")

475 - do not configure XFS, it's useless
476 - fix default_headers (ie allow XFdrake to create xorg.conf from scratch again)
477 - keep the order from MonitorsDB file
478 (allows "Flat Panel 800x600" to be before "Flat Panel 1024x768")
479 (needs a nicely sorted MonitorsDB though)
480
481 Version 0.23 - 6 September 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
482
483 - do not start xfs for the test (#33219)

501 Version 0.20 - 3 August 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
502
503 - fix detection of touchpad on some kernels (#31584)
504 (need drakxtools-backend >= 10.4.145)
505 - internal: add many options as having to be used only once, easing their use
506 and fixing setting them
507 (eg #31942 where one can't click "Options" after setting EXA)
