This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 - 185.18.14-0ubuntu1

---------------
nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (185.18.14-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (LP: #376067):
    - Fixed a Xinerama drawable resource management problem that can
      cause GLXBadDrawable errors in certain cases, such as when Wine
      applications are run.
      (LP: #344721)
    - Fixed XineramaQueryScreens to return 0 screens instead of 1
      screen with the geometry of screen 0 when XineramaIsActive
      returns false. This conforms to the Xinerama manual page and
      fixes an interaction problem with Compiz when there is more
      than one X screen.
    - Moved kernel module loading earlier in the X driver's
      initialization, to facilitate more graceful fallbacks if the
      kernel module cannot be loaded. Removed the LoadKernelModule X
      configuration option.
    - Added support for new horizontal interlaced and checkerboard
      passive stereo modes.
    - Fixed an OpenGL driver crash while running Bibble 5.
    - Fixed a DisplayPort interaction problem with power management
      suspend/resume events.
    - Fixed occasional X driver memory management performance
      problems when a composite manager is running.
      (LP: 294925)
    - Fixed a bug with VT-switching or mode-switching while using
      Compiz; the bug could lead to a corrupted desktop (e.g., a
      white screen) or in the worst case an X server crash.
    - Fixed a bug that could cause GPU errors in some cases while
      driving Quadro SDI products.
    - Fixed a several second hang when VT-switching while OpenGL
      stereo applications were running on pre-G80 Quadro GPUs.
    - Added support for multiple swap group members on G80 and later
      Quadro GPUs.
    - Fixed the behavior of the NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_SYNC_DELAY
      NV-CONTROL attribute on Quadro G-Sync II.
    - Fixed a problem with Quadro SDI where transitioning from
      "clone mode" to "OpenGL mode" would fail.
    - Fixed VDPAU to eliminate some cases of corruption when decoding
      H.264 video containing field-coded reference frames on G84, G86,
      G92, G94, G96, or GT200 GPUs. Such streams are commonly found in
      DVB broadcasts.
    - Slightly improved the performance of the VDPAU noise reduction
      algorithm.
    - Enhanced VDPAU to validate whether overlay usage is supported by
      the current hardware configuration, and to automatically fall
      back to the blit-based presentation queue if required.
    - Fixed error checking in VdpVideoMixerRender, to reject calls
      that specify more layers than the VdpMixer was created with.
    - Modified VDPAU's VDPAU_DEBUG code to emit a complete backtrace
      on all platforms, not just on 32-bit Linux.
    - Improved interaction between VDPAU and PowerMizer; appropriate
      performance levels should now be chosen for video playback of all
      standard resolutions on all supported GPUs.
    - Fixed a bug in VDPAU that sometimes caused "display preemption"
      when the VdpDecoderCreate function failed.
    - Fixed a potential segfault in the VDPAU trace library, triggered
      by a multi-threaded application creating a new VdpDevice in one
      thread, at the same time that another thread detected "display
      preemption".
    - Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
    - OpenOffice and Skype no longer have flickering buttons on mouseover
      when compiz is enabled. (LP: #286932)
    - smplayer and VirtualBox no longer display video corruption with
      composite (LP: #364764)
