Nvidia Linux Display Driver - 177.76 Beta

<UL>Added support for the following new GPUs:
  • GeForce GTX 260
  • GeForce GTX 280
-Improved support for RENDER masks, as well as RENDER repeating modes and transformations, for video memory pixmaps.
-Added accelerated support for RENDER convolution filters for video memory pixmaps on GeForce 8, 9 and GTX GPUs.
-Added an 'AllowSHMPixmaps' X configuration option, which can be used to prevent applications from using shared memory pixmaps; the latter may cause some optimizations in the NVIDIA X driver to be disabled.
-Added support for DisplayPort display devices (including 30-bit devices).
-Resolved various stability problems on GeForce 8, 9 and GTX GPUs, as well as some GeForce 6 and 7 PCI-E GPUs.
-Fixed a bug that resulted in GPU errors when changing the TwinView display configuration while using Compiz.
-Further improved the error recovery paths taken in case of GPU command stream corruption.
-Removed an old workaround that caused incorrect fake Xinerama information to be reported after enabling a second TwinView display.
-Fixed the subpicture component order reported by the NVIDIA X driver's XvMC implementation.
-Fixed a problem that could result in IRQs being disabled on some multi-GPU SMP configurations.
-Worked around cache flushing problems (on some Linux kernels) that caused corruption and stability problems.
-Added experimental support for PCI-E MSI.
-Improved compatibility with recent Linux 2.6 kernels.

Interesting, maybe it will fix slowness with KDE4. Those two look promising:
-Improved support for RENDER masks, as well as RENDER repeating modes and transformations, for video memory pixmaps.
-Added accelerated support for RENDER convolution filters for video memory pixmaps on GeForce 8, 9 and GTX GPUs.

177.68 are available: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/177.68/
  • Added support for the GeForce 9700M GTS.
  • Improved GPU video memory management coordination between the NVIDIA X driver and OpenGL implementation; this should improve performance with e.g. the KDE4 OpenGL compositing manager.
  • Fixed a RENDER corruption bug on GeForce 6 and 7 GPUs.
  • Fixed a bug that caused GLXBadDrawable errors to be generated when running more than one OpenGL application with anti-aliasing enabled on GeForce 6 and 7 GPUs, e.g. wine.
  • Fixed a bug that caused GPU errors when killing the X server while an OpenGL application is running.
  • Fixed a bug on GeForce 8, 9 and GTX GPUs that caused dynamic display configuration to fail on GPUs not currently driving an X screen.
Sounds good to me, I will try them when they appear in Debian repository as I'm too lazy to install them myself.
