Works for me on 8.10 so far!!!

I'll update on my progress

Updates so far:
- Random bugs. The terminal does not work. Some windows don't have borders (firefox download window).
- Many issues. Terminal has only a white window, can't see typed in text. Pop up windows are blank
- White terminal and white popups fixed by disabling desktop effects.

Not working for me!

I just get a blank screen when it gets to the login screens. I can login but screen is blank!

Ah well I'll send in a error report and see what they say

THis update broke my kernel (2.6.27) I am going to install the update to an older kernel and see if I get shown some love.

I'm running 2.6.27-7 and it works fine for me. What exactly happened?

I reinstalled the module, and it is working, but it does not work with my DVI output .

I use my box on a 42" HD TV, and the new driver seems to work only for SVGA out.

Solution for the missing title bars and white windows is here:

In short, add "Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"" to your xorg.conf and restart X.

Cheers,

That's odd because I have it on DVI out on my vid card. I wouldn't know where to help you out at. Maybe you should try submitting a automatic bug report to Nvidia?
