    195.22 driver from Nvidia?!?

    I have the PPA for nvidia added to my laptop.

    This morning, when I checked for updates, I saw this:

    When I looked at nvidia's website, they were still publishing 190.53.

    Anyone know anything about this?

      I've been running 195.22 for some weeks now, both on Kubuntu and sidux. It is rock solid on my hardware -- I have not seen a video glitch of any kind, running KDE 4 and compiz. I installed it via the downloaded installer, on both systems.

      YMMV, of course ...

        It seems to be running just fine on my also. I haven't seen any issues whatsoever.

        I was just a bit surprised by it showing up.
