Fixed. Somehow this slipped between the cracks. Sorry about that.

amd64: ok (tested with optimus card 660M and stable xorg)
Comment 6 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2012-10-19 19:37:50 UTC 
amd64 stable
Comment 7 mike 2012-10-22 22:30:26 UTC 
x86 ok (repoman ok, compiles ok, usage test ok: running with Quadro 1000M)

btw: x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-304.51 was running without problems for several weeks before this test.

Thanks. I've stabilized 295.75 based on your report since x86 is slacking.
