Default NVIDIA 1.0-9746 Display Driver

In time for Christmas NVIDIA has released a 1.0-9746 display driver that adds official support for the GeForce 8800GTS and GeForce 8800GTX. No other changes have been reported (though there are likely some bug fixes as well).

Hopefully this will fix the problem I'm currently having when using CTRL-ALT-F1 (or F2-F6 for that matter) to switch to a terminal, and when shutting down from a desktop environment. Anytime I try to do either of these things, the display goes black. The computer is still running, and if I was shutting down then the computer will continue doing so... it just doesn't display anything. Switching to another terminal makes it so that I can't use the display at all again (even when trying to switch back to F7). I'll post an update once I have this driver installed.
