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

207    
208     Version 0.62 - 25 September 2008
209    
210     - XFdrake:
211     o set "PreferredMode" in Monitor section if the user changes the resolution
212     (we still do not use PreferredMode for the default resolution)
213    
214     Version 0.61 - 11 September 2008
215    
216     - keyboarddrake:
217     o fix lithuanian keyboard choices (cf #41031)

232     o ensure we don't drop non-main "Device" (when modifying "Options", #41410)
233     o use nvidia-current default settings for nvidia173 as well

237     Version 0.58 - 9 June 2008
238    
239     - XFdrake:

241     o do not create symlink /etc/X11/X to ../../usr/bin/Xorg (#41363)
242     o drop support for /etc/X11/XF86Config (replaced by xorg.conf for some time now)
243     - mousedrake:
244     o evdev and imwheel handle orthogonal things, so do use imwheel even if we
245     need evdev (#40088)
246    
247     Version 0.57 - 2 April 2008
248    
249     - XFdrake:

262     o in drakx-finish-install, keyboard is asked after asking country, so have a
263     good default based on country too (was done for pt_BR but not fr_XX)
264     (#39221)
265    
266     Version 0.53 - 21 March 2008
267    
268     - XFdrake:

285     o default romanian keyboard is qwerty (cf #38450)
286     o "ro" really is "ro(std_cedilla)"
287     (to be more standard on unpatched xkeyboard-config)
288     o "ro(us)" is wrong and not qwerty, use "ro(winkeys)" which is the only
289     qwertz from symbols/ro
290    
291     Version 0.50 - 11 March 2008
292    
293     - XFdrake:
294     o if the EDID gives a valid 16/10 preferred resolution (even if duplicated),
295     but no HorizSync/VertRefresh, use a generic flat panel
296     HorizSync/VertRefresh (needed for edid.lcd.dell-inspiron-6400, #37971)
297     o handle DRIVER2_NO_SSE (from Cards+), needed by nvidia-current requiring SSE
298    
299     Version 0.49 - 28 February 2008
300    
301     - XFdrake: background images are now jpeg files
302    
303     Version 0.48 - 28 February 2008

332     - XFdrake:
333     o if the EDID gives a valid EISA_ID, a valid 16/10 preferred resolution, but

348    
349     - mousedrake:

351    
352     Version 0.40 - 10 December 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
353    
354     - XFdrake:
355     o never write a ModeLine when using fglrx driver (#30934)

376     HorizSync/VertRefresh, we must not use the monitor info
377     - when checking dkms module packages, check that modules are either
378     available in urpmi media, or already installed (fix detection in live)
379    
380     Version 0.36 - 4 October 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

397     - add support for x11-driver-input-vboxmouse when inside a VirtualBox guest
398     - fix typo in 0.32: don't wrongly default to "automatic" resolution when

401     Version 0.32 - 26 September 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
402    
403     - monitor-probe-using-X can now return EDIDs. if Xorg find an EDID (whereas
404     monitor-get-edid-using-vbe failed), defaults to "Plug'n Play" monitor (ie
405     let Xorg do things automatically) instead of good_default_monitor.
406     (requires monitor-edid 1.12)
407     - fix typo in 0.30: do not use "Automatic" resolution by default in --auto
408    
409     Version 0.31 - 25 September 2007, by Thierry Vignaud
410    
411     - updated translation
412    
413     Version 0.30 - 25 September 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
414    
415     - add support for "Automatic" resolution (aka "let xorg do everything")

418    
419     Version 0.29 - 21 September 2007, by Olivier "blino" Blin
420    
421     - unload drivers loaded by monitor-probe-using-X

423    
424     Version 0.28 - 20 September 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
425    
426     - when using evdev for mice, ensure it doesn't match a keyboard
427     (eg: in case of a mouse+keyboard combo) (#32905)
428     - fix regression in 0.24: remove bogus duplicates in monitors tree (#33778)
429    
430     Version 0.27 - 19 September 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
431    
432     - for evdev configured mice, specify bustype
433     (useful for "Macintosh mouse button emulation" which has same vendor/product
434     as "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard")
435     (need drakxtools-backend 10.4.203)
436    
437     Version 0.26 - 17 September 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
438

446    
447     Version 0.24 - 7 September 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
448    
449     - do not configure XFS, it's useless
450     - fix default_headers (ie allow XFdrake to create xorg.conf from scratch again)
451     - keep the order from MonitorsDB file
452     (allows "Flat Panel 800x600" to be before "Flat Panel 1024x768")
453     (needs a nicely sorted MonitorsDB though)
454
