Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Version: 195.36.24-4
Severity: normal


    * Added support for Quadro 4000, Quadro 5000, and Quadro 6000.
    * Added support for GeForce GTX 460.
    * Updated nvidia-installer to detect the nouveau kernel module and fail with an appropriate error message.
    * Added information to the NVIDIA driver README on how to disable the nouveau driver.
    * Fixed VDPAU to not print a debug error message when calling VdpVideoMixerQueryFeatureSupport with an unsupported or unknown VdpVideoMixerFeature.
    * Removed the requirement that in TwinView passive stereo, MetaModes must have identical viewports on each monitor.
    * Removed the requirement that in active stereo, all monitors must use identical modetimings.
    * Enhanced VDPAU to better report certain kinds of initialization error.
    * Fixed a regression that caused Xv to return BadAlloc errors on AGP systems when using the AGP GART driver contained in the NVIDIA driver. This fixes the problem reported in nvnews.net thread 151199.
