  configuration fails (useful if vbox video driver is not available)

1 - harddrake: configure default resolution (and background) even if card
2 configuration fails (useful if vbox video driver is not available)
3
4 Version 0.94 - 20 April 2011
5
6 - disable debug output of display_driver_helper by default
7 - fix ahead-of-X-server loading of proprietary and fglrx kernel modules
8 - try unloading unconfigured drivers in "display_driver_helper --check-loaded"
9
10 Version 0.93 - 17 April 2011
11
12 - add display_driver_helper script (used by XFdrake, udev, drakx, dkms)
13 - add/remove nokmsboot boot option as needed
14 - ask for reboot instead of X server restart, as it is commonly needed
15
16 Version 0.92 - 10 April 2011
17
18 - fix runned program in Keyboard.pm (#750)
19
20 Version 0.91 - 30 March 2011
21
22 - evdev needs to be loaded before calling getInputDevices_and_usb
23 else it will lead to a crash (pterjan)
24 - use UseEdid instead of IgnoreEDID with nvidia96xx since the latter is
25 obsolete (#40006)
26 - remove "3D hardware acceleration" from the UI, it will always be enabled
27 by default since we unconditionnally add the "dri" module to xorg.conf now
28 (#58933)
29
30 Version 0.90 - 26 May 2010
31
32 - translation updates
33
34 Version 0.89 - 11 May 2010
35
36 - mouse:
37 o remove imwheel support
38
39 Version 0.88 - 25 February 2010
40
41 - rename wacom driver package to its current name
42 - remove obsoleted video drivers from video driver list, add some new ones
43
44 Version 0.87 - 9 February 2010
45
46 - XFdrake:
47 o use -X option for ldconfig when switching alternatives, we only need the
48 cache rebuilt (Anssi Hannula)
49 o do not disable Composite extension by default when using fglrx driver
50 (Anssi Hannula)
51 o do not disable loading of dri module for non-glx drivers, as KMS drivers
52 require it as well
53 o do not disable loading of glx module for fbdev, in order to allow AIGLX
54 to work in software rasterizer mode
55 o do not add dbe and extmod modules to xorg.conf anymore, they are loaded
56 by default anyway
57
58 Version 0.86 - 26 November 2009
59
60 - keyboarddrake:
61 o make sure to properly init the console keymap before dumping it during
62 initial configuration, should fix console keymap setting in finish-install
63
64 Version 0.85 - 22 October 2009
65
66 - mousedrake:
67 o fix input module path on 64 bit machines
68 o don't install input drivers if X isn't here
69 - XFdrake:
70 o enable ctrl+alt+backspace by default
71
72 Version 0.84 - 9 October 2009
73
74 - run ldconfig after update-alternatives during installer too
75 (psb alternative does not have a higher priority than standard
76 alternative, and ldconfig was run by the installer only before
77 manually setting the alternative, which was not enough)
78
79 Version 0.83 - 8 October 2009
80
81 - use 28.8kHz as lower HorizSync (for 800x480)
82
83 Version 0.82 - 23 September 2009
84
85 - don't consider xorg.conf files with no InputDevice sections as invalid, fixes bug reported on cooker mailing list
86
87 Version 0.81 - 23 September 2009
88
89 - add psb driver support (for Poulsbo chipset)
90
91 Version 0.80 - 22 September 2009
92
93 - XFdrake:
94 o don't write sections in xorg.conf for USB wacom tablets, Synaptics
95 touchpads, mouses using "evdev" or "mouse" and keyboards
96
97 Version 0.79 - 14 September 2009
98
99 - XFdrake:
100 o fix DontZap option issue with old xorg.conf files
101 - allow to skip framebuffer setup (and thus splash removal) for newer
102 harddrake releases
103
104 Version 0.78 - 9 September 2009
105
106 - XFdrake:
107 o added "Disable Ctrl-Alt-Backspace" option
108
109 Version 0.77 - 22 July 2009
110
111 - XFdrake:
112 o correctly detect proprietary drivers that are located in
113 /usr/lib/drivername/xorg (#52384)
114
115 Version 0.76 - 25 June 2009
116
117 - keyboarddrake:
118 o update the xkb HAL keys when the keyboard layout is changed so that it
119 persists after a X server restart. Bug #49725
120 - XFdrake:
121 o when probing for video cards, ignore cards which are not in the VIDEO_VGA
122 PCI class (it is pretty common for dual-head ATI cards to have a
123 VIDEO_OTHER device for example). This has the potential of breaking
124 dual head setups, so it needs careful testing in Cooker ;) See bug #48028
125 o fix crash when both monitor and driver can not be probed (in
126 harddrake service or XFdrake --auto), for example with some Quanta
127 IL1 netbooks using Chrome9 IC3
128
129 Version 0.74 - 22 April 2009
130
131 - mousedrake:
132 o fix vmmouse configuration for vmware (#49654)
133
134 Version 0.73 - 21 April 2009
135
136 - tweak Intel driver accel methods in xorg.conf so that it's more consistent
137 with what the new Intel driver expects.
138
139 Version 0.72 - 15 April 2009
140
141 - XFdrake:
142 o fix selecting proprietary drivers with xdriver=DRIVER boot option
143 o do not add Load "freetype" to xorg.conf as the module does not exist
144 anymore
145 o use Plug'n'Play monitor when in vbox and don't specify any default
146 resolution, fixes #49642
147
148 Version 0.71 - 2 April 2009
149
150 - XFdrake:
151 o add support for xdriver=DRIVER kernel boot option that affects
152 non-interactive device autodetection, e.g. One boot
153 (special value xdriver=free disables proprietary drivers)
154 o add nouveau driver into the driver list
155
156 Version 0.70 - 20 March 2009
157
158 - mousedrake:
159 o configure input driver as 'vmmouse' if running in vmware (#29106)
160 o test if the file is there before trying to install the packages, that saves
161 a rpm -q in harddrake service after adding/removing/changing a mouse
162 - XFdrake:
163 o adapt for recent changes in proprietary driver alternatives
164
165 Version 0.69 - 29 January 2009
166
167 - XFdrake:
168 o use option -noAutoAddDevices when testing X
169 (useful during installation, #47237)
170
171 Version 0.68 - 28 January 2009
172
173 - keyboarddrake:
174 o bug fix: overwrite previous /etc/sysconfig/keyboard Xkb information when
175 changing keyboard
176
177 Version 0.67 - 8 January 2009
178
179 - mousedrake:
180 o synaptics driver in now in package x11-driver-input-synaptics (#45531)
181
182 Version 0.66 - 18 December 2008
183
184 - keyboarddrake:
185 o do not configure hal directly, but write in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard Xkb
186 information so hal can get them
187 o new option "--migrate" which adds Xkb information in
188 /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
189 o correctly handle default XkbModel
190 (so that we do not force pc105 when we should not)
191
192 Version 0.65 - 8 December 2008
193
194 - keyboarddrake:
195 o configure hal so Xorg can get xkb info
196 (nb: for now, you must "service haldaemon restart" to be taken into account)
197 - XFdrake:
198 o generic flat planel must allow "800x480 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 29.82 kHz"
199 so "HorizSync 31.5-90" is too strict, generating "HorizSync 29.5-90"
200 o have Option "PanelGeometry" "XXxYY" on geode driver
201 o do not display the weird ratios 128/75, 85/48 (for 1024x600 and 1360x768)
202 o do not load "Type1" module by default (disabled in xserver-1.5.x)
203 o special hack for gdium: the "default monitor" is "Plug'n Play" instead of
204 good_default_monitor() (it will work since the resolution is passed to the
205 kernel on gdium)
206 o there is no reason "automatic" resolution should imply "automatic" color
207 depth
208 - mousedrake, XFdrake:
209 o do not use /dev/mouse symlink (in xorg.conf)
210 - mousedrake
211 o do not propose to test the chosen mice
212 (it doesn't handle evdev/synaptics and so is quite obsolete nowadays)
213
214 Version 0.64 - 1 October 2008
215
216 - XFdrake:
217 o explicitly Load or Disable module "dri"
218 (to be independent of Xorg's default choice)

220 Version 0.63 - 30 September 2008
221
222 - translations updates
223
224 Version 0.62 - 25 September 2008
225
226 - XFdrake:
227 o set "PreferredMode" in Monitor section if the user changes the resolution

245
246 - XFdrake:
247 o use 24dpp by default, even on DRI (needed for kde4)
248 o ensure we don't drop non-main "Device" (when modifying "Options", #41410)
249 o use nvidia-current default settings for nvidia173 as well
250 o no need to force XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps, it is the default now in
251 x11-server
252
253 Version 0.58 - 9 June 2008
254
255 - XFdrake:
256 o Composite is now the default in xserver 1.4 (#35043)

302 o "ro" really is "ro(std_cedilla)"
303 (to be more standard on unpatched xkeyboard-config)
304 o "ro(us)" is wrong and not qwerty, use "ro(winkeys)" which is the only

306
307 Version 0.50 - 11 March 2008
308
309 - XFdrake:
310 o if the EDID gives a valid 16/10 preferred resolution (even if duplicated),

352
353 Version 0.42 - 22 January 2008

395
396 Version 0.36 - 4 October 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

419 - monitor-probe-using-X can now return EDIDs. if Xorg find an EDID (whereas
420 monitor-get-edid-using-vbe failed), defaults to "Plug'n Play" monitor (ie
421 let Xorg do things automatically) instead of good_default_monitor.
422 (requires monitor-edid 1.12)
423 - fix typo in 0.30: do not use "Automatic" resolution by default in --auto
424
425 Version 0.31 - 25 September 2007, by Thierry Vignaud

465 - do not configure XFS, it's useless
466 - fix default_headers (ie allow XFdrake to create xorg.conf from scratch again)
467 - keep the order from MonitorsDB file
468 (allows "Flat Panel 800x600" to be before "Flat Panel 1024x768")
469 (needs a nicely sorted MonitorsDB though)
470

496 and fixing setting them
497 (eg #31942 where one can't click "Options" after setting EXA)
498 - drop support for installing/configuring 915resolution
499 (no more needed since x11-driver-video-intel 2.0)
