I don't know about the repositories, but I had the same problem and I
solved it by following these simple steps:
1. Get the new NVIDIA driver, by typing in a terminal
wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/275.09.04/NVIDIA-
Linux-x86_64-275.09.04.run
2. Kill the X server:
- Log out
- press Ctrl+Alt+F1
- Log in to terminal user
- type: sudo stop kdm (or gdm)
3. Install the new driver:
- sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.09.04.run
4. Reboot
- sudo reboot
I hope it can help you.

Does somebody know when the updated driver from NVIDIA will be available in
the ubuntu repositories?
Can one help to speed that up a little? The freezes in my system are really
annoying.
Thanks for any help!
