I've been using #145 but be aware that when the kernel changes you will need to re-install your Nvidia driver. There is no clear message (on booting) when this has happened but my system booted and stopped at a message:
Checking battery state ... [OK]

Re-install of the driver fixed the problem (the required side effect is to rebuild the kernel module).

BTW If you ever need to stop X in Oneiric, to re-install this driver, the service is now called lightdm.

When Ubuntu includes a driver greater than 275.43 it will be great to avoid this faff.
