allows the selection of NVIDIA as GLX provider
In setups with several NVIDIA driver versions installed (e.g. current and
legacy) this metapackage registers an alternative to allow easy switching
between the different versions.
Use 'update-alternatives --config nvidia' to select a version.
.
This package does not depend on the corresponding NVIDIA libraries.
In order to install the NVIDIA driver and libraries, install the
nvidia-glx-legacy-71xx package instead.

NVIDIA unsupported legacy 71xx driver cleanup
The 71xx legacy drivers don't support the current Xorg xserver 1.7 in
squeeze. It is not expected that NVIDIA will fix this. The last xserver
version working with these drivers was 1.4 as included in Debian 5.0 (lenny).
.
In case you have a TNT (any model), TNT2 (any model), Vanta, GeForce 256,
GeForce 256 DDR, GeForce2 GTS, GeForce2 Pro, GeForce2 Ti, GeForce2 Ultra,
Quadro, Quadro2 Pro, i.e., any GPU based on the NV4/NV5/NV6/NV10/NV15 chips
or a variant thereof, your GPU is not supported by a newer driver from
NVIDIA. You have two choices to continue using it:
* switch to a free driver (nouveau or nv) or
* keep the xserver from lenny.
.
All other GPUs are still supported by newer driver series. Look at the
nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx package as a starting point.
.
This metapackage takes care for proper cleanup of previous installations of
the nvidia-glx-legacy-71xx driver.

NVIDIA binary Xorg driver (71xx legacy version)
These binary drivers provide optimized hardware acceleration of
OpenGL applications via a direct-rendering X Server.
AGP, PCIe, SLI, TV-out and flat panel displays are also supported.
Please see the nvidia-kernel-legacy-71xx-dkms or
nvidia-kernel-legacy-71xx-source packages
for building the kernel module required by this package.
This will provide nvidia-kernel-71.86.14.
.
WARNING: This driver only works with xserver 1.4 that was included in
Debian 5.0 (lenny). Newer xserver versions are not supported by NVIDIA.
Use a free driver (nouveau or nv) instead or upgrade to nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx
(if that still supports your GPU).
.
This legacy version is the last release that supports the following GPUs:
RIVA TNT [NV4], RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro [NV5M64],
RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro [NV5], RIVA TNT2 Ultra [NV5], Aladdin TNT2 [NV5],
Vanta/Vanta LT [NV6], GeForce 256 [NV10], GeForce 256 DDR [NV10DDR],
GeForce2 GTS/Pro [NV15], GeForce2 Ti [NV15DDR],
GeForce2 Ultra (Bladerunner) [NV15BR], Quadro [NV10GL], Quadro2 Pro [NV15GL].
.
There are several "more modern" GPUs supported by this package, too, but the
updated drivers in the newer legacy packages or the current nvidia-glx
package usually provide more features and better support.
Look at the other legacy packages for older cards.
.
See /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-legacy-71xx/README.txt.gz
for a complete list of supported GPUs and PCI IDs.

[ Andreas Beckmann ]
* Synchronize packaging with nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-96xx 96.43.19-2
* Synchronize packaging with nvidia-graphics-drivers 195.36.31-6:
- If both original and diverted file exist when removing obsolete
diversions, move the original file (which is not owned by any package)
out of the way. This problem may originate from incorrect diversion
creation before lenny (and was not noticed or fixed in lenny) or having
used the nvidia installer to install the driver in the past.
- Document the warnings emitted by the maintainer scripts in
README.Debian.
- Install the upstream README.txt in the dkms package. It is referenced
by the package description. Add a README.Debian, too.
- Add a note about the driver not working under the Xen hypervisor to
README.Debian. (See: #570365, although not verified for legacy-*)
* Synchronize packaging with nvidia-graphics-drivers 195.36.31-7:
- Add instructions how to switch driver installation from the NVIDIA way
(running the *.run file) to the Debian way (using packages).
- Let the bug-script collect detailed information about OpenGL and NVIDIA
libraries and their symlinks, diversions and alternatives currently
found on the system. Also list files remaining from using the
nvidia-installer.
* Synchronize packaging with nvidia-graphics-drivers 195.36.31-90:
- Merge general changes from 256xx/260xx releases:
- Use dpkg-parsechangelog to extract the upstream version number from
debian/changelog, simplifying debian/rules.defs even more.
- Drop Conflicts: binutils-gold, driver or gold was fixed.
- Detect license changes by comparing debian/copyright with the shipped
LICENSE during build.
- Catch module-assistant failures after nvidia-kernel-source updates
without running 'module-assistant clean nvidia'. Only works if the old
version already contained this change and a module was built.
- Add script build-module-packages.sh to the documentation of the
nvidia-kernel-legacy-71xx-source package, uses module-assistant to do a
quick build of the modules for all installed linux-headers.
- conftest.h: implement new (after 195.xx) conftest.sh functions
pci_dma_mapping_error, scatterlist, pci_domain_nr, file_operations,
sg_init_table. Kernel versions of symbol (dis-)appearance from lxr.
- Pre-Depend on nvidia-installer-cleanup for interactive (using debconf)
nvidia-installer cleanup. There is a mutual exclusion between using the
nvidia-installer and the driver packages.
+ Checks for /usr/bin/nvidia-installer and asks the user whether to run
'nvidia-installer --uninstall'. If that fails, offers to just delete
the remaining files. If the user chooses to do the cleanup himself,
installation is blocked as long as nvidia-installer is still found on
the system.
+ Adds a pre-install hook for the nvidia-installer, giving a warning to
users running a NVIDIA-Linux-*.run file directly while Debian packages
providing the driver are installed. This hook fails intentionally,
but unfortunately the default choice if the hook failed is to continue
anyway. Therefore the hook tries to kill the nvidia-installer
process.
+ Provides a script that checks for conflicting libraries (libGL.so.*.*
remaining from previous usage of the nvidia-installer) and offers to
delete them. The script is intended to be run from postinst. If the
user chooses not to delete them, postinst configure fails as long as
the user has not cleaned up or lets the postinst delete the files.
- nvidia-glx-legacy-71xx{,-ia32}.postinst: run the cleanup of conflicting
libGL.so.*.* (Currently the conflicting libraries are moved to
/var/lib/nvidia-backup.XXXXXX instead of deleting them.)
- Use /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build as the default kernel build location
for nvidia-kernel-legacy-71xx-source instead of /usr/src/linux, since
this is set up automatically by the current linux-headers-* packages.
- In the nvidia-kernel-legacy-71xx-source documentation, remove mention
of setting KVERS, which should no longer be needed, and mention that
setting KSRC is optional if the build link exists and you're building
for the currently running kernel.
- Lower Priority of *-ia32 packages to extra (debcheck).
- Switch default Section to non-free/libs with a few exceptions:
x11 (nvidia-legacy-71xx-glx),
kernel (nvidia-kernel-legacy-71xx-{source,dkms}),
oldlibs (nvidia-glx-legacy-71xx-ia32).
- Drop transitional packages:
+ nvidia-glx-legacy-71xx-dev (now Conflicts/Replaces by
libgl1-nvidia-legacy-71xx-glx)
- Prevent concurrent installation of mismatching upstream versions of
libgl1-nvidia-legacy-71xx-glx and libgl1-nvidia-glx-legacy-71xx-ia32.
- Provide xorg-driver-video.
- Add patch fix-typos.patch to fix a typo in the module (found by lintian).
- Update lintian-overrides to work with lintian 2.5.0.
* Synchronize packaging with nvidia-graphics-drivers 195.36.31-91:
- Merge general changes from 270xx/275xx releases:
- Update to Standards-Version: 3.9.2.
- Add no-smp_lock.patch to remove the superfluous inclusion of
linux/smp_lock.h (kernel_locked is not used anywhere, so this seems to
be bitrot). That header is no longer available in 2.6.39.
- Add avoid-ld.gold.patch to explicitly link with ld.bfd. The kernel
module built with ld.gold does not work properly.
- Add linux3.patch to make the module build on linux-3.0.
- Support backport specific operations in debian/rules by setting the
BACKPORT variable in debian/rules.defs.
- Set the supported Xorg ABIs in debian/rules.defs, use substvars for Xorg
related Depends/Provides, compute the values in debian/rules.
Add compatibility settings for old Xorg versions for backports only.
- Add #LIBDIR# and #PRIVATE# substitution variables for generated control
files.
- Turn nvidia-glx-legacy-71xx-ia32 into a transitional package, the
libraries have been shipped in libgl1-nvidia-legacy-71xx-glx-ia32 for
quite some time.
- Add Depends: nvidia-support to nvidia-glx-legacy-71xx. The new support
package ships the nvidia-bug-report.sh manpage.
- conftest.h:
- Mark aquire_console_sem as no longer available in 2.6.38 and newer
kernels.
- Implement conftest.sh function ioremap_cache (270.41.19).
- Implement checks for generated/compile.h and generated/utsrelease.h
(275.09).
- Convert lintian-overrides to use [arch lists] introduced in lintian
2.5.1.
- Fall back to the old version of nvidia.ids if extract-pci-ids.sh failed.
- Add Conflicts: lib{*}-ia32 [i386] to lib{*} to prevent mixing multiarch
and biarch packages, e.g. lib{*}:i386 and lib{*}-ia32:amd64 on amd64.
- Add XS-Autobuild: yes to debian/control. See instructions in #602838.
- Canonicalize the location of upstream's README.txt, NVIDIA_Changelog and
kernel module source path.
- Add #MAJOR# substitution variable.
* Synchronize packaging with nvidia-graphics-drivers 195.36.31-92:
- Merge diversions, alternatives and multiarch changes from 275xx releases:
- Switch to multiarch-aware diversion and alternatives handling provided
by the glx-diversions/glx-alternative-nvidia packages.
- Move handling of alternatives from nvidia-glx and libgl1-nvidia-glx to
nvidia-alternative (new package) and glx-alternative-nvidia (from
glx-alternatives). libGL.so.1 and libglx.so (the Xorg module) no longer
can be configured independently, avoiding possible mixed NVIDIA/MESA
setups.
- Note: The diversion and alternative handling of
libgl1-nvidia-legacy-71xx-glx-ia32 is not being changed.
This package will become obsolete by adding multiarch support.
- Split the Xorg driver and modules from nvidia-glx into new package
xserver-xorg-driver-nvidia-legacy-71xx (package name agreed by Cyril
Brulebois).
- Install the following files that exist in both current and legacy
drivers into a version specific directory
/usr/lib/nvidia/{current,legacy-*}: libGL.so.1, libglx.so,
nvidia_drv.so, libnvidia-cfg.so.1, libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1,
libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1, nvidia-bug-report.sh.
- Do the same with libnvidia-tls.so.1, tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1 and
libGLcore.so.1 which are only supplied by the legacy packages.
- The 'nvidia' alternative (set up by package
nvidia-alternative{,-legacy-*}) handles creation of appropriate symlinks
in /usr/lib/nvidia.
- The 'glx' alternative (set up by package glx-alternative-nvidia) handles
creation of appropriate symlinks in /usr/lib, /usr/lib/xorg, etc.
- Convert the Conflicts: *-legacy-*, fglrx-* to versioned Breaks: as the
library and driver parts should be co-installable by now. There still
can be only one nvidia-*-dkms package installed at a time as they all
generate the same kernel module: nvidia.ko.
- Provide nvidia-glx-any, xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-any,
libgl1-nvidia-glx-any, libgl1-nvidia-glx-ia32-any.
- Update README.alternatives.
- Update bug-script to list files in the new private directory as well as
in multiarch directories. Collect xorg.conf and most recent Xorg.*.log.
- Update bug-control to report information about some of the recently
added/renamed packages.
- Run check-for-conflicting-opengl-libraries from
libgl1-nvidia*-glx{,-ia32} and xserver-xorg-video-nvidia* postinst.
- Enable multiarch.
- Add ${misc:Pre-Depends} to all library packages.
- Add Multi-Arch: same/foreign/allowed.
- Use compat level 9.
- Use #LIBDIR# substitution variable.
- Work around missing multiarch support in libvdpau1.
- Run check-for-mismatching-nvidia-module from libgl1-nvidia*-glx{,-ia32},
xserver-xorg-video-nvidia* and libcuda1{,-ia32} postinst, if available.
- Add Depends: nvidia-support to libgl1-nvidia*-glx{,-ia32} and
xserver-xorg-video-nvidia*.
- Remove the nvidia alternative before removing the libraries.
- Only add slave links if the destination directory exists.
* Add -legacy-71xx suffix to newly added packages.
* Add new package nvidia-glx-legacy-71xx-unsupported which should do the
cleanup of the now unsupported 71xx driver. Right now it's an empty dummy
package, migration and cleanup is yet to be implemented.
.
[ Russ Allbery ]
* Add DM-Upload-Allowed: yes to debian/control.
