nvidia-graphics-drivers (260.19.29-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - Added support for the following GPUs:
      o GeForce GTX 460 SE
      o GeForce GTX 570
      o Quadro 5000M
      o NVS 300
    - Fixed a bug that caused some OpenGL applications to become unresponsive
      for up to a minute on some GPUs when changing the resolution or refresh
      rate.
    - Added support for NVIDIA 3D Vision Pro.
    - See the "Stereo" X configuration documentation in the README for further
      details.
    - Added a new X configuration option "3DVisionProConfigFile" to allow user
      provide a filename which NVIDIA X driver uses to store 3D Vision Pro
      configuration settings. See "Appendix B. X Config Options" in the README
      for more information.
  * debian/control{.in}:
    - Replace "NVIDIA 8" with "GeForce 8" in the description
     (LP: #639976). Thanks to Gaurav Aggarwal for the patch.
  * Add support for blacklisting card ids from GRUB gfxpayload=keep:
    - In Natty gfxpayload=keep is set by default so as to provide a framebuffer
      early in the boot process. Some cards don't play nicely with it, therefore
      we need to blacklist them in a file. The format is a sequence of lines of
      the following form:
        vVENDORdDEVICEsvSUBVENDORsdSUBDEVICEbcBASECLASSscSUBCLASS
      Blacklist lines are regex-matched against a corresponding PCI ID string.
      In practice this means that you can replace any part of the ID string
      with .* to match anything.
