Ask for reboot instead of X restart, as it is commonly needed.
1 - add display_driver_helper script (used by XFdrake, udev, drakx, dkms)
2 - add/remove nokmsboot boot option as needed
3 - ask for reboot instead of X server restart, as it is commonly needed
4
5 Version 0.92 - 10 April 2011
6 - fix runned program in Keyboard.pm (#750)
7
8 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 - 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"
206 (to be independent of Xorg's default choice)
207
208 Version 0.63 - 30 September 2008
209
210 - translations updates
211
212 Version 0.62 - 25 September 2008
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)
217

219
220 - keyboarddrake:
221 o fix lithuanian keyboard choices (cf #41031)

231
232 Version 0.59 - 18 August 2008
233
234 - XFdrake:
235 o use 24dpp by default, even on DRI (needed for kde4)
236 o ensure we don't drop non-main "Device" (when modifying "Options", #41410)
237 o use nvidia-current default settings for nvidia173 as well
238 o no need to force XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps, it is the default now in
239 x11-server
240
241 Version 0.58 - 9 June 2008
242
243 - XFdrake:
244 o Composite is now the default in xserver 1.4 (#35043)
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)

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

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),

383
384 Version 0.36 - 4 October 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

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")

453 - do not configure XFS, it's useless
454 - fix default_headers (ie allow XFdrake to create xorg.conf from scratch again)
455 - keep the order from MonitorsDB file
456 (allows "Flat Panel 800x600" to be before "Flat Panel 1024x768")
457 (needs a nicely sorted MonitorsDB though)
458
459 Version 0.23 - 6 September 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

479 Version 0.20 - 3 August 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
480
481 - fix detection of touchpad on some kernels (#31584)
482 (need drakxtools-backend >= 10.4.145)
483 - internal: add many options as having to be used only once, easing their use
484 and fixing setting them
485 (eg #31942 where one can't click "Options" after setting EXA)
486 - drop support for installing/configuring 915resolution
487 (no more needed since x11-driver-video-intel 2.0)
488 - do not configure using xfs anymore (#32051)
489
490 Version 0.19 - 9 July 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

503 - add big standard resolutions (4/3, 16/10, 16/9)
504 - [bugfix] fix test message not translated (#30261)
505 - remove all fglrx options, hopefully default is good enough
