Package: nvidia-graphics-drivers
Version: 256.53
Severity: normal


    *  Fixed a bug that prevented XvMC from initializing in most cases.
    * Added support for xorg-server video driver ABI version 8, which will be included in the xorg-server-1.9 series of releases.
    * Fixed a bug that caused extremely slow rendering of OpenGL applications on X screens other than screen 0 when using a compositing manager.
    * Fixed a regression introduced after 256.35 that caused stability problems on GPUs such as GeForce GT 240.
    * Fixed a slow kernel virtual address space leak observed when starting and stopping OpenGL, CUDA, or VDPAU applications.
    * Fixed a bug that left the system susceptible to hangs when running two or more VDPAU applications simultaneously.
