This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 - 180.35-0ubuntu1

---------------
nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (180.35-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (LP: #334205).
    * Added support for the following GPUs:
      o GeForce GT 120
      o GeForce G100
      o Quadro FX 3700M
    * Fixed a bug that caused Maya to freeze when overlays are enabled.
    * Fixed an interaction problem with some applications that use memory tracking
      libraries.
    * Added support for RG renderbuffers in OpenGL 3.0.
    * Added support for OpenGL 3.0 floating-point depth buffers.
    * Fixed a problem that caused Valgrind to crash when tracing a program that
      uses OpenGL.
    * VDPAU updates:
      o VDPAU now supports VC-1/WMV acceleration on all GPUs supported by VDPAU;
        see the README for details.
      o Expand the documentation of VDPAU's VdpVideoMixer, in particular regarding
        how to use the deinterlacing algorithms. Explicitly document "half rate"
        deinterlacing, which should allow the advanced algorithms to run on more
        low-end systems. See vdpau.h.
      o Implement a "skip chroma deinterlace" option in VDPAU, which should allow
        the advanced deinterlacing algorithms to run on more low-end systems. See
        vdpau.h.
      o Enhance VDPAU to correctly handle some forms of corrupt/invalid MPEG
        streams on some GPUs.
      o Fix VDPAU to prevent some cases of "display preemption" in the face of
        missing H.264 reference frames on some GPUs.
      o Fix VDPAU to correctly handle VC-1 skipped pictures with missing start
        codes on some GPUs.
      o Fix VDPAU to correctly handle WMV "range reduction" on some GPUs. A minor
        backwards-compatible API change was made for this; see vdpau.h's
        documentation for structure field VdpPictureInfoVC1.rangered.
      o Fix VDPAU wrapper library to print dlerror() messages when problems occur,
        which will simplify debugging of driver loading issues.
