NVIDIA Releases 177.82 Linux Driver

Blah blah blah... are they EVER going to fix the tremendously horrible widget/screen corruption for non-Qt apps and 6,7 series cards?!?!?!

yes Plagman told me on IRC that this one is fixed in the 180.x branch.
(if you are talking about the same corruption issue)

I haven't experienced the performance issue with 177 vs 173 drivers (tried lightsmark - 90fps with 173, 110 with 177), but I did hear others complaining about it too though.

I still get horrible framerates with ETQW in all distros I tried with my computer and this driver, the same as before.

no compiz here.

I've a Nvidia 7800 GTX PCIe (maybe it helps)...others having problems, too.

simple search at http://community.enemyterritory.com/forums for "nvidia" you'll find various threads...(some ppl mentioned that they only have that problem when they use a combo: a specified kernel version and the nvidia 177.80 driver)

Very interesting release notes. Every performance option for KDE4 now enabled by default + new VDPAU API.
