Very great news, many thanks ! :-) And yes it would be great to see the 355 series in backports. I've heard that the packaging for it would be different due to new NVidia infrastructure. And also I need to point out that the 358 series is coming very soon (beta releases are already out) so it may be worthless to release a 355.xx driver. What do you think for this ?
