Add display_driver_helper script and add/remove nokmsboot boot option as needed.
1 anssi 912 - add display_driver_helper script (used by XFdrake, udev, drakx, dkms)
2     - add/remove nokmsboot boot option as needed
3    
4 dmorgan 866 Version 0.92 - 10 April 2011
5     - fix runned program in Keyboard.pm (#750)
6    
7 ennael 760 Version 0.91 - 30 March 2011
8    
9     - evdev needs to be loaded before calling getInputDevices_and_usb
10     else it will lead to a crash (pterjan)
11 dmorgan 391 - use UseEdid instead of IgnoreEDID with nvidia96xx since the latter is
12     obsolete (#40006)
13     - remove "3D hardware acceleration" from the UI, it will always be enabled
14     by default since we unconditionnally add the "dri" module to xorg.conf now
15     (#58933)
16    
17     Version 0.90 - 26 May 2010
18    
19     - translation updates
20    
21     Version 0.89 - 11 May 2010
22    
23     - mouse:
24     o remove imwheel support
25    
26     Version 0.88 - 25 February 2010
27    
28     - rename wacom driver package to its current name
29     - remove obsoleted video drivers from video driver list, add some new ones
30    
31     Version 0.87 - 9 February 2010
32    
33     - XFdrake:
34     o use -X option for ldconfig when switching alternatives, we only need the
35     cache rebuilt (Anssi Hannula)
36     o do not disable Composite extension by default when using fglrx driver
37     (Anssi Hannula)
38     o do not disable loading of dri module for non-glx drivers, as KMS drivers
39     require it as well
40     o do not disable loading of glx module for fbdev, in order to allow AIGLX
41     to work in software rasterizer mode
42     o do not add dbe and extmod modules to xorg.conf anymore, they are loaded
43     by default anyway
44    
45     Version 0.86 - 26 November 2009
46    
47     - keyboarddrake:
48     o make sure to properly init the console keymap before dumping it during
49     initial configuration, should fix console keymap setting in finish-install
50    
51     Version 0.85 - 22 October 2009
52    
53     - mousedrake:
54     o fix input module path on 64 bit machines
55     o don't install input drivers if X isn't here
56     - XFdrake:
57     o enable ctrl+alt+backspace by default
58    
59     Version 0.84 - 9 October 2009
60    
61     - run ldconfig after update-alternatives during installer too
62     (psb alternative does not have a higher priority than standard
63     alternative, and ldconfig was run by the installer only before
64     manually setting the alternative, which was not enough)
65    
66     Version 0.83 - 8 October 2009
67    
68     - use 28.8kHz as lower HorizSync (for 800x480)
69    
70     Version 0.82 - 23 September 2009
71    
72     - don't consider xorg.conf files with no InputDevice sections as invalid, fixes bug reported on cooker mailing list
73    
74     Version 0.81 - 23 September 2009
75    
76     - add psb driver support (for Poulsbo chipset)
77    
78     Version 0.80 - 22 September 2009
79    
80     - XFdrake:
81     o don't write sections in xorg.conf for USB wacom tablets, Synaptics
82     touchpads, mouses using "evdev" or "mouse" and keyboards
83    
84     Version 0.79 - 14 September 2009
85    
86     - XFdrake:
87     o fix DontZap option issue with old xorg.conf files
88     - allow to skip framebuffer setup (and thus splash removal) for newer
89     harddrake releases
90    
91     Version 0.78 - 9 September 2009
92    
93     - XFdrake:
94     o added "Disable Ctrl-Alt-Backspace" option
95    
96     Version 0.77 - 22 July 2009
97    
98     - XFdrake:
99     o correctly detect proprietary drivers that are located in
100     /usr/lib/drivername/xorg (#52384)
101    
102     Version 0.76 - 25 June 2009
103    
104     - keyboarddrake:
105     o update the xkb HAL keys when the keyboard layout is changed so that it
106     persists after a X server restart. Bug #49725
107     - XFdrake:
108     o when probing for video cards, ignore cards which are not in the VIDEO_VGA
109     PCI class (it is pretty common for dual-head ATI cards to have a
110     VIDEO_OTHER device for example). This has the potential of breaking
111     dual head setups, so it needs careful testing in Cooker ;) See bug #48028
112     o fix crash when both monitor and driver can not be probed (in
113     harddrake service or XFdrake --auto), for example with some Quanta
114     IL1 netbooks using Chrome9 IC3
115    
116     Version 0.74 - 22 April 2009
117    
118     - mousedrake:
119     o fix vmmouse configuration for vmware (#49654)
120    
121     Version 0.73 - 21 April 2009
122    
123     - tweak Intel driver accel methods in xorg.conf so that it's more consistent
124     with what the new Intel driver expects.
125    
126     Version 0.72 - 15 April 2009
127    
128     - XFdrake:
129     o fix selecting proprietary drivers with xdriver=DRIVER boot option
130     o do not add Load "freetype" to xorg.conf as the module does not exist
131     anymore
132     o use Plug'n'Play monitor when in vbox and don't specify any default
133     resolution, fixes #49642
134    
135     Version 0.71 - 2 April 2009
136    
137     - XFdrake:
138     o add support for xdriver=DRIVER kernel boot option that affects
139     non-interactive device autodetection, e.g. One boot
140     (special value xdriver=free disables proprietary drivers)
141     o add nouveau driver into the driver list
142    
143     Version 0.70 - 20 March 2009
144    
145     - mousedrake:
146     o configure input driver as 'vmmouse' if running in vmware (#29106)
147     o test if the file is there before trying to install the packages, that saves
148     a rpm -q in harddrake service after adding/removing/changing a mouse
149     - XFdrake:
150     o adapt for recent changes in proprietary driver alternatives
151    
152     Version 0.69 - 29 January 2009
153    
154     - XFdrake:
155     o use option -noAutoAddDevices when testing X
156     (useful during installation, #47237)
157    
158     Version 0.68 - 28 January 2009
159    
160     - keyboarddrake:
161     o bug fix: overwrite previous /etc/sysconfig/keyboard Xkb information when
162     changing keyboard
163    
164     Version 0.67 - 8 January 2009
165    
166     - mousedrake:
167     o synaptics driver in now in package x11-driver-input-synaptics (#45531)
168    
169     Version 0.66 - 18 December 2008
170    
171     - keyboarddrake:
172     o do not configure hal directly, but write in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard Xkb
173     information so hal can get them
174     o new option "--migrate" which adds Xkb information in
175     /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
176     o correctly handle default XkbModel
177     (so that we do not force pc105 when we should not)
178    
179     Version 0.65 - 8 December 2008
180    
181     - keyboarddrake:
182     o configure hal so Xorg can get xkb info
183     (nb: for now, you must "service haldaemon restart" to be taken into account)
184     - XFdrake:
185     o generic flat planel must allow "800x480 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 29.82 kHz"
186     so "HorizSync 31.5-90" is too strict, generating "HorizSync 29.5-90"
187     o have Option "PanelGeometry" "XXxYY" on geode driver
188     o do not display the weird ratios 128/75, 85/48 (for 1024x600 and 1360x768)
189     o do not load "Type1" module by default (disabled in xserver-1.5.x)
190     o special hack for gdium: the "default monitor" is "Plug'n Play" instead of
191     good_default_monitor() (it will work since the resolution is passed to the
192     kernel on gdium)
193     o there is no reason "automatic" resolution should imply "automatic" color
194     depth
195     - mousedrake, XFdrake:
196     o do not use /dev/mouse symlink (in xorg.conf)
197     - mousedrake
198     o do not propose to test the chosen mice
199     (it doesn't handle evdev/synaptics and so is quite obsolete nowadays)
200    
201     Version 0.64 - 1 October 2008
202    
203     - XFdrake:
204     o explicitly Load or Disable module "dri"

212    
213     - XFdrake:
214     o set "PreferredMode" in Monitor section if the user changes the resolution
215     (we still do not use PreferredMode for the default resolution)
216

241    
242     - XFdrake:

244     o do not create symlink /etc/X11/X to ../../usr/bin/Xorg (#41363)
245     o drop support for /etc/X11/XF86Config (replaced by xorg.conf for some time now)
246     - mousedrake:
247     o evdev and imwheel handle orthogonal things, so do use imwheel even if we
248     need evdev (#40088)
249    
250     Version 0.57 - 2 April 2008
251    
252     - XFdrake:

265     o in drakx-finish-install, keyboard is asked after asking country, so have a
266     good default based on country too (was done for pt_BR but not fr_XX)
267     (#39221)
268    
269     Version 0.53 - 21 March 2008
270    
271     - XFdrake:

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

354    
355     Version 0.40 - 10 December 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
356    
357     - XFdrake:
358     o never write a ModeLine when using fglrx driver (#30934)

382    
383     Version 0.36 - 4 October 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux

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

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

431     - fix regression in 0.24: remove bogus duplicates in monitors tree (#33778)
432    
433     Version 0.27 - 19 September 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
434    
435     - for evdev configured mice, specify bustype
436     (useful for "Macintosh mouse button emulation" which has same vendor/product
437     as "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard")
438     (need drakxtools-backend 10.4.203)
439    
440     Version 0.26 - 17 September 2007, by Pascal "Pixel" Rigaux
441
