As you might already know, this release cycle we’re providing updated proprietary graphics drivers using the -updates flavours of our driver packages (e.g. nvidia-current-updates, fglrx-updates). These updates are optional and, if you don’t want to run the risk of dealing with regressions, you may want to keep using the non-updates flavours (e.g. nvidia-current, fglrx, etc.).
If you’d like to help us test the new drivers, we have 2 updates available:
Nvidia’s (nvidia-current-updates) 285.05.09 and AMD’s fglrx 11.11 release
Please leave your feedback in the bug reports so that the SRU team can promote the drivers (currently in the oneiric-proposed repository) to regular distro updates.
NOTE: you might also want to keep an eye on this twitter page for more updates.

I really like the intiative, thanks for doing it! Using nvidia-current-updates myself.
