There are several threads on this, for example

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=161308


There is an ubuntu thread:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/760632

where you can find #53

  This is a copy of the latest response I have received from nVidia's
  "customer care", following yet another a fairly strongly worded email
  from me with regard to nVidia's total lack of activity in this regard:-

     Hello,

     I escalated this problem to the Linux Engineering Manager. An
     Engineer has been assigned to work on this at high priority.
     We are targeting the fix for the upcoming 275.xx driver which is
     currently planned to ship in early June 2011."


And there is an arch linux thread:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=116544

and a arch-linux bug-report

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23381


So indeed debian cannot do much about it (unless it is the xserver's fault).

To have newest version of nvidia driver in experimental would help
so one can easily test it.

As the driver works with 1.9.5 I can wait :-).
