new release of nvidia driver (version 177.80)

Hi,

NVidia just released the new driver version 177.80, which fixes some really
critical errors like:

* Worked around cache flushing problems (on some Linux kernels) that caused
corruption and stability problems.
* Improved compatibility with recent Linux 2.6 kernels.
* Updated mode validation, in cases when no EDID is detected, such that 1024x768
 <at>  60Hz and 800x600  <at>  60Hz are allowed, rather than just 640x480  <at>  60Hz.

More details here:

Are there any chances that nvidia-x11-drv package will be updated to this driver
version in the nearest future for Feodra 8 & Fedora 9?  :)
