Yesterday I reported:

JBeck> I reinstalled my desktop this afternoon with snv_111b.  Most things are
JBeck> working fine, but one exception is a pair of screen-savers: carousel
JBeck> and glslideshow (though other GL screen-savers seem to work fine)...

JBeck> I've got the 180.44 NVidia driver, which came with the 111b install.
JBeck> One of my Xorg buddies suggested that I downgrade it to 173.whatever
JBeck> ... my frame buffer is a Quadro FX 3450 ... working before the
JBeck> reinstall.

FYI for anyone who might be interested: I got hold of our NVidia driver expert
who had me try an upgrade (to 180.62) rather than a downgrade, noting that
there were a couple of regressions in 180.44 for certain cards (of which mine
was one).  I did so, and now the screen-savers are working again.  :-)
