Release highlights since 319.12:
- Fixed a regression that caused multiple BUG messages to be printed in the kernel log on SMP systems.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the X server to crash when repeatedly enabling and disabling displays.
- Updated nvidia-settings to preserve the relative positioning of displays when changing from a layout where multiple displays are on the same X screen to one where the same displays span multiple X screens.
- Fixed nvidia-settings to dlopen(3) "libvdpau.so.1", rather than "libvdpau.so".
- Added support for the following GPUs:
- GeForce GT 720M
- GeForce GT 735M
- GeForce GT 740M
- GeForce GT 745M
- GeForce GT 750M
- GeForce GTX 760M
- GeForce GTX 765M
- GeForce GTX 770M
- GeForce GTX 775M
- GeForce GTX 780M
- Added nvidia-persistenced, a daemon utility, to the driver package. nvidia-persistenced can be installed to run on system startup or manually run to allow the NVIDIA kernel module to keep persistent driver state allocated when no other user-space NVIDIA driver components are running. This can improve startup time for other user-space NVIDIA driver components.
- Added /usr/lib/modprobe.d to the list of directories where nvidia-installer may optionally install a generated modprobe configuration file to attempt to disable Nouveau.
