I've tried the Nvidia 180 driver that is now available in the Ubuntu Jaunty repository (http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/nvidia-180-kernel-source). I no longer experience the video garbage whether using Compiz or not. It's also cleared up a video artifact bug that caused severe rendering issues when Eclipse was open. So I'm very happy now. :-)

Many people have reported problems using suspend/standby/hibernate etc with the Nvidia 180 driver, so use at your own risk etc. I don't use suspend/standby/hibernate on this machine so it's fine for me.

The system tray bug is still there though, but that's apparently related to the system tray itself and is supposedly going to be fixed in KDE 4.2.

I also had random crashing problems with the Nvidia 177 driver, but as they are random, I will have to wait to see if they still occur.

I'm using a Gigabyte GA-M68SM-S2 motherboard, which has an onboard GeForce 7025
