@ Abhishek Kharvadi (abhihello) - the fix for the 32-bit version will be released at the same time as the fix for the 64-bit version. I'm not sure when that will be though. Martin Pitt probably knows. If you want to get it before then see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed

@ everybody - NVIDIA has indeed released a new driver, version 295.53 - see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTEwMzk
However it is not packaged in the normal (recommended) Ubuntu repositories yet - see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates
It is also not in proposed yet - see the above link and http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html
This of course doesn't matter too much as the fix for this bug is in 295.49.

I have just found out why 295.49-0ubuntu0.1 has not migrated from -proposed to the normal (recommended) repository - according to http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html it is being held up by bug #982710 which is still awaiting verification of a fix in 295.49-0ubuntu0.1
