  ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.4.17.7) xenial-security; urgency=medium

    dependency on them

1728547 SRU: Add support for keeping the dGPU on in power saving mode

Version: 1:0.4.17.3 2017-08-23 02:06:42 UTC

  ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.4.17.3) xenial-proposed; urgency=medium

  * gpu-manager.{c|py}:
    - Add support for using custom xorg.confs with the nvidia
      driver (LP: #1667198).
      Custom xorg files can be named "non-hybrid" (for non hybrid
      systems), "hybrid-performance", and "hybrid-power-saving",
      and will have to placed in the /usr/share/gpu-manager.d
      directory.
      The directory can be overridden by passing another directory
      along with the "--custom-xorg-conf-path" parameter.
    - Add tests for the custom xorg.confs code and for amdgpu-pro
      hybrid support.

Version: 1:0.4.17.2 2016-09-22 18:06:36 UTC

  ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.4.17.2) xenial-proposed; urgency=medium

  [ Alberto Milone ]
  * gpu-manager.c:
    - Fix memory leak in get_alternatives(). Make sure to always free
      alternatives->current_core and alternatives->current_egl.
    - Partially drop the drm code, and get information about connectors
      from sysf. This fixes a long standing performance issue (LP: #1586933).
    - Disable persistence mode before powering down the dGPU.
      If persistence mode is not disabled, gpu-manager will not be able to
      unload the nvidia module (LP: #1619306).
    - Make sure to load and unload nvidia-drm. This fixes a problem that
      prevents the dGPU from being powered off in hybrid systems with
      recent nvidia drivers (LP: #1619306).

  [ Ying-Chun Liu (PaulLiu) ]
  * Quirks/quirkinfo.py:
    - Catch and ignore UnicodeDecodeErrors in dmi info, as some machines
      may report board_name as ffffffffffff0a to mean empty, and this
      causes an error in python 3 (LP: #1320868).

  ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.4.17.1) xenial-proposed; urgency=medium

  * gpu-manager.c:
    - Pass the arguments in the correct order when getting
      the list of alternatives (LP: #1575960).
      Thanks to Rafał Cieślak for the fix.
