yay! looks like it provides many new improvements like compatibility with newer kernels and xorg 7.3. Go nuts! 
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=98635
Release Highlights:
Added support for new GPUs:
Quadro FX 290
Quadro FX 370
Quadro FX 570
Quadro FX 1700
Improved GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap out-of-memory handling.
Fixed a performance regression on GeForce 8 GPUs.
Added support for a 'NoScanout' mode to the X driver, useful for high performance computing environments and remote graphics; please see the UseDisplayDevice option description for details.
Improved power management support with GeForce 8 and older GPUs.
Improved compatibility with recent X.Org X servers.
Improved G-Sync support with Quadro FX 4600 and Quadro FX 5600.
Added XV brightness and contrast controls to the GeForce 8 video texture adapter implementation.
Further improved interaction with ATi RS480/482 based mainboards.
Fixed stability problems with some GeForce 8 GPUs.
Fixed XvMC support on GeForce 7050 PV / NVIDIA nForce 630a GPUs with PureVideo support.
Added support for bridgeless SLI with GeForce 8 GPUs.
Fixed rotation support on some GeForce 8 GPUs.
Fixed a problem causing X to render incorrectly after VT switches with composited desktops.
Fixed a RENDER acceleration bug that was causing 2D rendering corruption in Eclipse with GeForce 8 GPUs.
Improved VGA console restoration with DFPs and TVs.
Fixed a bug that resulted in the generation of incorrect EDIDs on some notebooks.
Fixed flickering corruption with SLIAA on GeForce 8 GPUs.
Improved compatibility with recent Linux 2.6 kernels.
Fixed a compatibility problem with some Linux 2.4 kernels.
Improved hotkey switching support.
Fixed an nvidia-installer bug that was causing the installer to treat some of its temporary files as conflicting.
Fixed several problems causing crashes if /dev is mounted with the noexec option.
Reduced kernel virtual memory usage with some GeForce 8 GPUs.
PS: gonna try to make an ebuild for it soon and report back

Seems like the new Nvidia driver is blocking Xorg from being able to install..

I edited the xorg-server-1.4-r1 ebuild and was able to install the 100.14.19 drivers, but the crashing problem remains.
Oh well. Here's hoping nvidia's next set of drivers will fix the crashes. |

Xorg kept crashing here whenever I did glxinfo or similar, seems to be that my kernel with exec-shield caused it, getting rid of that fixed the problem and everything works fine now.

It means that the CPU doesn't get woken up 60 times a second by the Nvidia driver, which allows the CPU to stay in low power mode for longer and saves battery life on laptops. |

I just tried this drivers with the latest compiz-fusion svn/git and it was very slow.
I haven't tried compiz in a while, so I'm not sure if it's the new drivers or a a recent bug in compiz.
Have anyone else tried it?

New drivers are working fine on the laptop, Geforce Go 6150, AMD Turion X2, running in 32bit mode.
Hassles left right and centre on the desktop, Geforce 6600, AMD X2, running in 64bit mode. The problem appears to be in the XV subsystem, as in MythTV and Kaffeine, using xine, will not play back without a static corrupted display. Reverting back to 100.14.11, changing no other settings gets them both working again.
Anyone else with similar issues? If so, I will post a bug, unless someone beats me to it.

Yes, this is what I start it with:
| Code: | | compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --loose-binding ccp |
I also downgraded it to 0.5.2, but it's still slow and screen tearing appears.
After a while the gtk controls got strange and I had to stop it.
I also tried running it on a separate X server, but it was still slow and the gtk controls where strange. (I know that worked before with 0.5.2)
Sorry if I'm stealing the thread, but does anyone have any idea what is wrong?
What I know is different from the last time I tried it:

Try with direct rendering and setting the gl_yield variable: | Code: | | __GL_YIELD="NOTHING" compiz --loose-binding --replace ccp |
The UseEvents and DamageEvents options might have an impact too, try without them. |

Tried both, didn't work 
The cube appears to work fine (no slowdowns, no tearing), but if I launch an opengl application it will suffer from tearing too (just like moving around a window).

Why are you using indirect rendering? That should be off for nvidia users as far as I know.
Also make sure you have the following compiz settings:
Uncheck: Detect Refresh Rate
Change: Refresh rate to 200
Uncheck: Sync to VBlank
Should all work fine then
