** Summary changed:

- [karmic] Please upgrade nvidia-glx-185 to 185.18.08 version
+ [karmic] Please upgrade nvidia-glx-185 to 185.18.14 version

** Description changed:

  ChangeLog :
  
-     * Fixed stability problems with some GeForce 6200/7200/7300 GPUs on multi-core/SMP systems.
-     * Improved recovery from certain types of errors.
-     * Fixed a problem that caused DisplayPort monitors to never light up or lose sync intermittently on some Quadro GPUs.
-     * Fixed a bug that caused some performance levels to be disabled on certain GeForce 9 series notebooks.
-     * Fixed a problem that could result in temporary stalls when moving OpenGL application windows on GeForce 8 and later GPUs.
-     * Fixed a bug that could interfere with the detection of display devices attached to secondary GPUs when first starting X after cold boots.
-     * Fixed a bug that prevented VGA fonts from being saved/restored correctly on GeForce 8 and later GPUs.
-     * Loaded the NVIDIA kernel module earlier in the X driver's initialization path to facilitate more graceful fallbacks if the kernel module cannot be loaded. Removed the LoadKernelModule X configuration option.
-     * Fixed a bug that caused kernel crashes when attempting to initialize NvAGP on Linux/x86-64 kernels built with the CONFIG_GART_IOMMU kernel option.
+     *  Fixed a Xinerama drawable resource management problem that can cause GLXBadDrawable errors in certain cases, such as when Wine applications are run.
+     * Fixed XineramaQueryScreens to return 0 screens instead of 1 screen with the geometry of screen 0 when XineramaIsActive returns false. This conforms to the Xinerama manual page and fixes an interaction problem with Compiz when there is more than one X screen.
+     * Moved kernel module loading earlier in the X driver's initialization, to facilitate more graceful fallbacks if the kernel module cannot be loaded. Removed the LoadKernelModule X configuration option.
+     * Added support for new horizontal interlaced and checkerboard passive stereo modes.
+     * Fixed an OpenGL driver crash while running Bibble 5.
+     * Fixed a DisplayPort interaction problem with power management suspend/resume events.
+     * Fixed occasional X driver memory management performance problems when a composite manager is running.
+     * Fixed a bug with VT-switching or mode-switching while using Compiz; the bug could lead to a corrupted desktop (e.g., a white screen) or in the worst case an X server crash.
+     * Fixed a bug that could cause GPU errors in some cases while driving Quadro SDI products.
+     * Fixed a several second hang when VT-switching while OpenGL stereo applications were running on pre-G80 Quadro GPUs.
+     * Added support for multiple swap group members on G80 and later Quadro GPUs.
+     * Fixed the behavior of the NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_SYNC_DELAY NV-CONTROL attribute on Quadro G-Sync II.
+     * Fixed a problem with Quadro SDI where transitioning from "clone mode" to "OpenGL mode" would fail.
+     * Fixed VDPAU to eliminate some cases of corruption when decoding H.264 video containing field-coded reference frames on G84, G86, G92, G94, G96, or GT200 GPUs. Such streams are commonly found in DVB broadcasts.
+     * Slightly improved the performance of the VDPAU noise reduction algorithm.
+     * Enhanced VDPAU to validate whether overlay usage is supported by the current hardware configuration, and to automatically fall back to the blit-based presentation queue if required.
+     * Fixed error checking in VdpVideoMixerRender, to reject calls that specify more layers than the VdpMixer was created with.
+     * Modified VDPAU's VDPAU_DEBUG code to emit a complete backtrace on all platforms, not just on 32-bit Linux.
+     * Improved interaction between VDPAU and PowerMizer; appropriate performance levels should now be chosen for video playback of all standard resolutions on all supported GPUs.
+     * Fixed a bug in VDPAU that sometimes caused "display preemption" when the VdpDecoderCreate function failed.
+     * Fixed a potential segfault in the VDPAU trace library, triggered by a multi-threaded application creating a new VdpDevice in one thread, at the same time that another thread detected "display preemption".
+     * Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
