Hi, folks.

A while back, I noted in this post (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1042732) that I was having some trouble with artifacts on screen. Turns out this is a bug in the NVIDIA driver, both version 177 and 180.

A little research reveals that this was fixed. Unfortunately, I am using version 180.11 of the driver, which does NOT have the fix. Does anyone know what version of the 180 driver will be in Jaunty? With the release not that far away, I don't want to do a manual update if I don't have to.

Thanks.

Thanks, Vadi! I'll hold off until Jaunty goes live.

That would work. I'd either upgrade when jaunty hits RC (which was today), or a week after (because servers will be strained for the first week).
