nvidia-driver - NVIDIA metapackage

The current NVIDIA graphics drivers no longer support this architecture. Therefore this transitional package depends on the corresponding package from the legacy-390xx driver series to ease switching to the legacy driver.
This metapackage depends on the NVIDIA binary driver and libraries that provide optimized hardware acceleration of
OpenGL/GLX/EGL/GLES/Vulkan applications via a direct-rendering X Server.
Please see the nvidia-kernel-dkms or
nvidia-kernel-source packages
for building the kernel module required by this package. This will provide nvidia-kernel-418.74.
This version only supports GeForce, Quadro, NVS, Tesla, ... GPUs based on the Kepler, Maxwell, Volta, or newer architectures. Look at the legacy packages for older cards.
See /usr/share/doc/nvidia-driver/README.txt.gz
for a complete list of supported GPUs and PCI IDs.
Building the kernel module has been tested up to Linux 5.0.

- Fixed CVE‑2018‑6260. (Closes: #913467)
  https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4772

- Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL applications to crash after repeated VT-switches.
- NVIDIA Video Codec SDK 9.0
  A new release of the Video Codec SDK will be available in Q1 2019. For more information and early access sign-up, refer to
  https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk
  The main features available in this release are listed below: o Support for Turing NVENC/NVDEC.
  o The NVDECODE API (also known as the NVCUVID API) has been updated to
  support YUV 4:4:4 decoding for HEVC on Turing GPUs.
  o NvEncodeAPI has been updated to support HEVC B-frames on Turing GPUs. o NvEncodeAPI adds the capability to output the encoded bitstream, and
  motion vectors from motion estimation-only mode, to video memory.
  This avoids the overhead of copying the output from system to video
  memory for processing pipelines operating directly on video memory.
  o NvEncodeAPI now accepts CUarrays as input buffers. The SDK contains
  a sample application to demonstrate how to feed a Vulkan image to
  NVENC using the Vulkan-CUDA interop.
- Added NVIDIA optical flow support.
  A new library libnvidia-opticalflow.so is included in the driver package. The NVIDIA optical flow library can be used for hardware-accelerated computation of optical flow vectors and stereo disparity values. The API header files, sample applications and documentation will be available in a separate Optical Flow SDK package in Q1 2019. For more information and early access sign-up, refer to
  https://developer.nvidia.com/opticalflow-sdk
- Removed libnvidia-wfb.so from the driver package. This module was only used on X servers that did not provide their own implementation of libwfb, and all X.Org xserver versions now supported by the driver do so.
- Updated the VDPAU driver to reject decoding to YUV 4:2:2 video surfaces. The NVIDIA VDPAU driver always produces YUV 4:2:0 content. Previously, the VDPAU driver implicitly converted a YUV 4:2:2 video surface to YUV 4:2:0 during decode. Now, the VDPAU driver will fail the decode request.
- Removed the NVreg_UseThreadedInterrupts kernel module parameter from nvidia.ko. This removes the ability to forcibly fall back to an older mechanism (tasklets) for running the bottom-half interrupt handler. Instead, threaded IRQs (the default since 367.44) are always used.
Andreas Beckmann
- Update nv-readme.ids.
- Update symbols files.
- libnvidia-opticalflow1: New package for the NVIDIA Optical Flow runtime library.

Debian experimental experimental/non-free: Version 415.27-1 introduced

Feb 12

New upstream short lived branch release 415.27 (2019-01-15).
- Added support for the following GPU: GeForce RTX 2060.
New upstream short lived branch release 415.25 (2018-12-18).
- Added support for the following GPU: TITAN RTX.
New upstream short lived branch release 415.23 (2018-12-12).
New upstream short lived branch release 415.22 (2018-12-07).
- Fixed a regression that prevented applications based on the Unity engine from starting.
- Added support for VK_EXT_transform_feedback.
New upstream short lived branch release 415.18 (2018-11-20).
- Fixed a bug that caused corruption on vkCmdCopyImage calls for non-2D texture targets.
New upstream beta 415.13 (2018-11-08).
- Improved error reporting in eglSwapBuffers() by generating codes for some missing error types, and adding additional detail to the already existing ones.
- Fixed a bug that could cause WINE to crash on recent OS releases.
- Fixed a bug that could cause an X server crash when exiting Vulkan applications running on X servers with UBB enabled.
- Fixed an X driver bug that caused the "NoEdidModes" token of the "ModeValidation" X configuration option to reject non-EDID modes whose timings matched EDID modes.
- Changed the NvEncCreateBitstreamBuffer API call in the NvEncodeAPI library to return NV_ENC_ERR_UNIMPLEMENTED instead of NV_ENC_SUCCESS when the encoder instance is configured to run in motion estimation-only mode. As an indirect consequence of this change, users running the AppEncME sample application from the Video Codec SDK prior to SDK version 8.2.16 will observe a segmentation fault due to bugs in the NvEncoder class. It is recommended that users download the latest version of the SDK, where these bugs have been fixed, from
  https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk.
- Fixed an OpenGL driver bug that caused the upper bounds of floating-point viewports, specified through the ARB_viewport_array extension, to be clipped incorrectly.
- Added a new X configuration option "HardDPMS" which
  is disabled by default, but can be enabled to put displays to sleep with modesets rather than VESA DPMS. This may fix some displays that fail to sleep when DPMS becomes active. "HardDPMS" will be enabled by default in a future release.
- Raised the minimum supported X.Org xserver version to 1.5 (video driver ABI version 4).
- Enabled the NVreg_EnableBacklightHandler kernel module option by default.
- Removed the LinuxThreads version of the /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so library and replaced it with the NPTL one that was previously installed in /usr/lib/tls/. This fixes crashes on Debian systems when the /etc/ld.so.nohwcap file is present.
- Changed the minimum required Linux kernel version from 2.6.9 to 2.6.32.
- Fixed an OpenGL bug where conditional rendering (NV_conditional_render) was incorrectly affecting mipmap generation.
Andreas Beckmann
- The classic LinuxThreads tls library variant for Linux < 2.6 is gone.
- Update symbols files.
- Update nv-readme.ids.
- Update lintian overrides.
- Upload to experimental.
