Packaging request, please upgrade to ver 177.76

Please update Intrepid with this driver, since it fixes loads of problems for Nvidia users.

This release will probably fix the lockups I'm having with the current version 177.70.
[mi] mieqEnequeue: out-of-order valuator event; dropping.
[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.

Followup...

Tested with a 7600GS card without any issues.
RGBA "trashing" (during scrolls) seems to be fixed again...;)

Reports about slower performance for 2D but I cannot see that.

This version probably solves more issues and a minor performance degrade
must be ok .

This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-graphics-drivers-177 - 177.76-0ubuntu1

---------------
nvidia-graphics-drivers-177 (177.76-0ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Add driver 177.76 (LP: #272572):
     * Added support for the following new GPUs:
       o GeForce 9500 GT
     * Fixed a bug that caused GPU errors when applications used
       the X RENDER extension's repeating modes in conjunction
       with color-index overlays or rotation on GeForce 7 series
       and older GPUs.
     * Fixed a bug that caused system hangs when using the
       NV-CONTROL interface to change GPU clock frequencies.
     * Fixed a text rendering performance regression on GeForce 7
       series and older GPUs when InitialPixmapPlacement is set
       to 2.
     * Updated mode validation, in cases when no EDID is detected,
       such that 1024x768 @60Hz and 800x600 @ 60Hz are allowed,
       rather than just 640x480 @ 60Hz.
     * Improved power management support.
     * Improved compatibility with recent Linux 2.6 kernels.
     * Fixed a regression that caused the 'Auto' SLI X option
       setting to not enable SLI.
     * Added a workaround for broken EDIDs provided by some Acer
       AL1512 monitors.
  * Fix (LP: #262027) Make sure to remove (in
    nvidia-177-kernel-source.postinst) any directory which
    was not removed because of bug 261816
