They're working 343.x now.
I generally don't bake my own beard though. I find the off-the-shelf beard to be just as easily shaveable as my own home-baked beard.
the new drivers destroy compiz making it flicker everywhere:
Nvidia 334.21 makes the UI jearky, googled and found this on Nvidia forums: "This looks like a problem caused by the system compositor not properly waiting for X rendering to finish before performing OpenGL rendering in response. The GL_EXT_x11_sync_object extension was designed to solve this problem, but it looks like cogl (the back-end library used by GNOME's compositor) doesn't use it yet. " more details: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/690704/linux/-334-16-parts-of-the-ui-rando...
Theres a ppa to fix it but they cannot upstream it due to license issue with nvidia.
untill this is fixed no new drivers will be on ubuntu's archive.

This is why I remain on 11.04 on my daily driver. Yeah it sucks to have outdated software and security vulnerabilities, but unlike my 12.04 machine it actually works.
And I assume by "license issue" they're referring to Canonical's CLA.

Nvidia priprietar drivers, novueau
Im used standard 331.xx from oficial repository. But auto install/detect not function in Ubuntu 14.04.00-01 for Nvidia 750Ti. I instal with Synaptic. Or 343.xx
Broken is nvidia driver version 340.xx with this card.
Nouveau have actual version, but with kernel 3.15 and higher no functional acceleration. (Both Mesa 10.1 or 10.4)

This is also blocking acceleration on newer nvidia chips (where glamor it's the only acceleration available) with nouveau, since requires 1.16:

Some movement:
xserver-xorg-core v1.16 landed in devel-proposed
That means that the core binaries of the X-server are finished and we have to wait for all the other parts to be rebuilt against 1.16
Enabling devel-proposed isn't recommended as it can make your computer unbootable. Trying to install xserver-xorg-core now makes you lose some small pakages like ubuntu-desktop and xorg...
