Today, during my regular upgrades, I upgraded my gentoo boxes to nvidia-drivers-180.51, which is the latest version in portage. Since the error in dmesg

bluetooth-apple[10079] general protection ip:7fec32b2cebe sp:7fff3dc7ff00 error:
0 in libGL.so.180.51[7fec32ad6000+a5000]

I mentioned in CTRL-C and CTRL-Z not working after nvidia-driver upgrade and high CPU usage and saw in later releases still occurs and therefore I expect more problems, I downgraded to nvidia-drivers-180.29 again.  Since I upgraded  to xorg-server-1.5.3 in the meanwhile, I am sure now, that the problems are not related to incompatibilities with the older xorg release I ran before.

Did anyone monitor the driver release any closer? How were your experiences?
