I know that this was asked a couple of weeks ago, but I would appreciate
an update. When can we expect version 180.44 of the nonfree nvidia
drivers to be packaged and in the repo?
I was wondering about this as well, to include for
current/soon-to-be-F11 rawhide kernel too?
I was wondering the same, maybe it would be worth including the newly
released 180.51? I know it's "pre-release" but it adds support for a whole
lot of new hardware, plus I read good reports on the nvidia forum about it.
Well anyway, anything goes to get rid of 180.29 random crashes...
bug report ? ^^ (either at bugzilla.rpmfusion.org or nvnews.net with
nvidia-bugreport.sh ?)
We will jump to whatever will be the last beta prerelease/stable
version in Rawhide (only) soon.
Update for F-10 will appear at a later time. Update for F-9 aren't
planned at all at this time.
The question of updating the nVidia driver rise-up quite often.
Previously, we've updated the driver quite soon as it was available,
and it was put in the rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing repository.
But we haven't received that much feedback; then it came to
updates-stable (despite few exception) on new fedora kernel update.
So we need to sort out how to have new driver been tested on one side,
and how we can receive more feedback for a given testing version of
the driver on the other side.
Maybe that will lead to have a nvidia-bugreport.sh script like tools,
or to setup bodhi for rpmfusion or to have a automatic report tools
for bugzilla that use benchmarks from phoronix-test-suite (available
in fedora), or even to constitute a team of "well known" rpmfusion
binary driver testers...
We are goind to fix one of the above issue hoppefully quite soon (this
week) but other issues will have to be fixed in the longer term.

Yes I was considering a bug report when I'll manage to gather useful
information about it. Point is that it usually happens very randomly,
and no useful information is dumped to the logs. Screen will start
flickering and my laptop will hard-lock, needing a forced power off.
This usually happens when I'm using a certain set of application (I
isolated amule+rhythmbox+firefox with flash) but it also happened in
different scenarios, so I'm having a hard time to track it down.
As I saw last nvidia drivers fix quite some crash issues, I was hoping
it could fix even mine, but I've no actual evidence it will.
I will try to produce a nvidia-bugreport, though I doubt it will contain
anything useful, also because it will come after a boot.
