* Add driver 177.76 (LP: #272572):
* Added support for the following new GPUs:
o GeForce 9500 GT
* Fixed a bug that caused GPU errors when applications used
the X RENDER extension's repeating modes in conjunction
with color-index overlays or rotation on GeForce 7 series
and older GPUs.
* Fixed a bug that caused system hangs when using the
NV-CONTROL interface to change GPU clock frequencies.
* Fixed a text rendering performance regression on GeForce 7
series and older GPUs when InitialPixmapPlacement is set
to 2.
* Updated mode validation, in cases when no EDID is detected,
such that 1024x768 @60Hz and 800x600 @ 60Hz are allowed,
rather than just 640x480 @ 60Hz.
* Improved power management support.
* Improved compatibility with recent Linux 2.6 kernels.
* Fixed a regression that caused the 'Auto' SLI X option
setting to not enable SLI.
* Added a workaround for broken EDIDs provided by some Acer
AL1512 monitors.
* Fix (LP: #262027) Make sure to remove (in
nvidia-177-kernel-source.postinst) any directory which
was not removed because of bug 261816
