New 9643.05 Legacy driver from Nvidia
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_x86_96.43.05.html


Release Highlights

* Improved compatibility with recent versions of X.Org X servers.
* Improved GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap out-of-memory handling.
* Improved compatibility with recent Linux 2.6 kernels.
* Improved compatibility with SELinux systems

This includes the fixed texture_from_pixmap extension which was responsible for the black window bug. So hopefully us Legacy users will be able to use Compiz without black windows now :D

Does anyone know if this will make it into Hardy?
