I've tried the Nvidia 180 driver on Kubuntu 8.10. I no longer experience
the video garbage bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/kubuntu-kde4-meta/+bug/254468) whether using Compiz or not. It's also
cleared up a video artefact bug that caused severe rendering issues when
Eclipse was open. So I'm very happy now. :-)

I also had random crashing problems with the Nvidia 177 driver,
especially when using Compiz or any OpenGL based application, but as
they are random, I will have to wait to see if they still occur.

I'm not too bothered about the suspend/resume issues, as I don't use
suspend/resume on this machine. I'd rather have working graphics. :-)

I'm using a Gigabyte GA-M68SM-S2 motherboard, which has an onboard
GeForce 7025

Many thanks to those who got this package out there!
