The latest Nvidia driver addresses a lot of bugs. Please consider upgrading before gutsy release.

[Mikael Nilsson (mini)]

Highlights:

Fixed a problem causing X to render incorrectly after VT switches with composited desktops.

Improved power management support with GeForce 8 and older GPUs.

Improved GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap out-of-memory handling.

Improved compatibility with recent Linux 2.6 kernels.

Improved compatibility with recent X.Org X servers.

This can't be bad ...

Yeah, i really like to see this new driver included soon, as it will probably fix the black screen issue i had with compiz and switching VT (or coming back from suspend). Compiz is unusable for me right now, since i cant even suspend my laptop with that enabled, and since gutsy will have compiz on by default, this new driver is a must.
Better power management would be good for my laptop as well, although whatever is it that they improved is not clear to me ;)

Still Status = New and Importance = Undecided

If this fix the black screen issue I think this i very important to include this i Gutsy
