It seems to fix the font corruption issue I was mentioning earlier. Until we
get the 180.11 driver in the repos (if we get it) there a couple of alternative
fixes for the font corruption issue:
1) set GlyphCache to 0: nvidia-settings -a GlyphCache=0
Some reports indicate that in some cases the InitialPixmapPlacement needs to be
also set to 0 to get rid of the text corruption. YMMV
2) disable sub-pixel hinting in the anti-aliasing settings.
