* Add driver 178.70:
* Added support for the following new GPUs:
o GeForce 9800 GTX+
o GeForce 9800 GT
o GeForce 8100P
o nForce 780a SLI
o nForce 750a SLI
o Quadro FX 770M
o Quadro NVS 160M
o Quadro NVS 150M
* Improved support for RENDER operations with the same source
and destination; this should enhance performance in
some situations, e.g. when dragging Plasma applets in KDE4.
* Fixed a text rendering performance regression that affected
GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs.
* Fixed a regression that caused text to be missing or
corrupt on GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs.
* Fixed a regression responsible for false negatives during
SLI video bridge detection attempts after X server
restarts.
* Fixed a bug that resulted in AGP FW/SBA settings and overrides
being applied incorrectly when using the Linux kernel's
AGP GART driver.
* Fixed a bug that caused initialization of the builtin AGP
GART driver (NvAGP) to fail.
* Fix (LP: #261816) Replace "remove" with "remove|upgrade" in the
case loop in nvidia-177-kernel-source.prerm so that older versions
of the drivers are removed in case of upgrade
