Added unofficial GLX protocol support (i.e., for GLX indirect rendering) for the following OpenGL extensions:
- GL_NV_framebuffer_multisample_coverage
- GL_NV_texture_barrier
Added GLX protocol support (i.e., for GLX indirect rendering) for the following OpenGL extension:
- GL_NV_register_combiners2
Fixed a bug that caused the pop-out and external DVI displays to go blank on Lenovo ThinkPad W701 laptops.
Fixed a bug that caused corruption on the menus in OpenOffice.org when the screen is rotated.
Improved performance of certain memory allocations.
Fixed a bug that caused Java2D widgets to disappear when Java is configured to render using FBOs.
Fixed a bug that caused nvidia-settings to crash while saving the X configuration file on some Linux distributions.
Added a new X configuration option "BaseMosaic" which can be used to extend a single X screen transparently across all of the available display outputs on each GPU. See "Appendix B. X Config Options" in the README for more information.
