- As this update renders even more GPUs obsolete (please consult README file
to find out if your card needs legacy driver), x11/nvidia-driver-173 slave
port will be committed shortly
- Remove USE_XLIB/USE_X_PREFIX/USE_XPM in favor of USE_XORG
- Remove X11BASE support in favor of LOCALBASE or PREFIX
- Use USE_LDCONFIG instead of INSTALLS_SHLIB
- Remove unneeded USE_GCC 3.4+

once again, as a temporary measure, NVVERSION is easier to define in slave
and master ports independently than further obfuscate the Makefile
- Display pkg-message consistenly between port vs. package installation
- Minor nit: spell `NVidia' consistently in Makefile
Closes PR: ports/119090
Submitted by: Brad Allen
- Convert NVVERSION to brave new order (makes them ugly, I know)
- Fix the emulation of semaphores implemented in `nvidia_os.c'. The problem
with nVidia's code was that it tries to use a spin mutex with a condition
variable, which is explicitely disallowed [1]
- Remove X.org-related path hacks since nVidia handles it correctly now
- Fix symlinks when installing from package (plist change)
- Stop saying FILESDIR when PATCHDIR was meant
- Simplify some Makefile logic: remove always-true check
Submitted by: mux, Craig Boston (independently) [1]
- Update the driver to the latest version, 100.14.11
- Update legacy driver versions to 1.0-7185 and 1.0-9639
- Prevent the port from messing with system configuration files (e.g.
/boot/loader.conf) and doing automatic module loading/unloading. This
functionality would be lost in package anyway, and might cause undesired
side effects [*]
- Register proper @exec/@unexec for ldconfig(8) calls for Linux libraries
- Kill NVidia's afterinstall banner, our pkg-message tells the same but is
more detailed and accurate
- Require X server being installed
- INSTALLS_SHLIB -> USE_LDCONFIG, seems to be OK nowadays
- Respect NOPORTDOCS user setting
- Throw in couple of comments + other minor tweaks
100.14.11 Release Hightlights:
- GeForce 7050 PV/NVidia nForce 630a
- GeForce 7025/NVidia nForce 630a
- Fixed console restore problems in several different configurations, e.g.
VESA console, notebook LCD displays
- Improved interaction with ATi RS480/482 based mainboards
- Improved support for House Sync with G-Sync II
- Improved NVidia X driver interaction with ACPI daemon
Requested by: several [*]
- Simplify SHLIB_VERSION handling, it's not that bad after all
- Better and cleaner PORTDOCS handling, less hacks in Makefile
- Fix non-root installation (use pre-su-install)
- Miscellaneous Makefile nits
previously they were somewhat misleading (logic remains the same) [1]
- Take xorg-server-snap into account, previously having it installed
would break pkg-list logic (libglx.so wasn't backed up/restored
properly) [2]
- Utilize DOCSDIR macro in pkg-message.in
- Drop currently noop USE_X_PREFIX

- NVVERSION is no longer user settable. nVidia changed their versioning
scheme, which made my life a bit harder. Since this is master port and
cares about legacy version slaves as well, derive NVVERSION from DIST-
VERSION as doing so required less intrusive changes. Update the comment
accordingly. UPDATING note will be committed separately
- Retire OSVERSION hack since it's no longer needed. PORTREVISION are now
set in all three nvidia-driver ports independently. Previously it was
not really safe because NVVERSION was user settable variable
- Introduce new variable, SHLIB_VERSION, and use it in PLIST_SUB, because
it's not always equal to NVVERSION these days
- Mute MKDIR along the way
For slave ports:
- Rename port directory names to reflect future reality: their versions
going to bump as well. No repo copy since there's no history to preserve
- Drop support for WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT knob, instead allow to specify
needed NVVERSION (move towards being master port) [*]
- Update related comment
Prodded by: many [*]
GeForce 8800 GTS and GeForce 8800 GTX boards [1]
- More proper WITHOUT_LINUX knob handling [1] [2]
- Update an old patch to be more consistent with current way of doing
Linux-compat things (should be no-op change though)

- As threatened, drop support for FreeBSD 4.X
- Apply minor fix for master sites [*]
- Add last padding line for pkg-message for prettier output
Tested on: FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE (i386)
[*] alepulver@ will take care of master sites in separate commit
- Update to version 1.0-8762, the latest from nVidia
Changes from version 1.0-8178 (previous in Ports Collection):
- Added support for new GPUs, such as QuadroFX 4500 X2, Quadro FX 5500,
Quadro FX 3500, and Quadro FX 1500
- Added support for GeForce 7300, GeForce 7400 Go, GeForce 7600, and
GeForce 7900 GPUs
- Improved Quadro FX 3450/4000 SDI support
- Added support for running OpenGL applications while the Composite X
extension is enabled; see "The X Composite Extension" appendix for details
- Enabled hardware acceleration of the Render X extension by default
- Added new "nvidia-auto-select" mode entry for use in the X configuration
file; see description in the "Programming Modes" appendix
- Added support for GLX 1.4
- Added "AddARGBGLXVisuals" X configuration option, so that OpenGL
applications can render to X Windows' alpha channel
- Added ability for OpenGL applications to span greater than 4096 pixels
when in Xinerama
- Fixed video memory reporting with GeForce 6200 Turbo Cache
- Fixed a problem with Overlay support when in TwinView
- Fixed several issues with mode selection for CRTs and DFPs
- Fixed a corruption problem with Rotation and large desktops on older GPUs
including GeForce4 MX
- Fixed a system crash starting X with TwinView on certain GPUs
- Addressed an NV-CONTROL compatibility issue; please see the Known Issues
section of the README for details
- Improved G-Sync support
- Fixed interlaced modes on CRTs

- Add a dependency to the native xorg-libraries when the LINUX option is
enabled (it causes USE_XLIB to depend on Linux libraries instead of the
native ones). This should aid in updating process.

Fix the pkg-plist for that [1]
- Remove the USE_REINPLACE since it is no longer needed [1]
Please note that 4.X users will probably suffer from this as a side
effect, however, taking them into account will further complicate the
Makefile logic, which is already pretty hard to follow. Since I warned
4.X users about removing support for that old release of FreeBSD (and
since I'd be really suprised to find out there's someone still using
4.X as their desktop) more than 8 months ago, plus we're not obliged to
support ports on 4.X anymore, I think we can live with it.
Once again, I'm encouraging people using this port use it with modern
FreeBSD version and modern graphics card.
