Am hopeful based on this changelog:
Changelog from upstream 256.52
* New upstream release. Changes since 265.44: [sic: 256.44]
- Fixed a bug that prevented XvMC from initializing in most cases.
- Added support for xorg-server video driver ABI version 8, which will
be included in the xorg-server-1.9 series of releases.
- Fixed a bug that caused extremely slow rendering of OpenGL
applications on X screens other than screen 0 when using a compositing
manager.
- Fixed a regression introduced after 256.35 that caused stability
problems on GPUs such as GeForce GT 240.
- Fixed a slow kernel virtual address space leak observed when starting
and stopping OpenGL, CUDA, or VDPAU applications.
- Fixed a bug that left the system susceptible to hangs when running
two or more VDPAU applications simultaneously.
