Yes, there are few reports in ArchLinux forum:

IMO it's the driver bug, the nvidia-96xx driver. It could be a conflict with
new xorg or kernel.

I've solved my problem by switching to the open source driver xf86-video-nv.
Now my wine applications work fine, except the Canon DPP - It works, but I
can't upgrade to the newest version. However, I'm satisfied for now :o)

I'll wait for future, for better driver version or for better PC with new
graphic card :o) I'm going to write a message to Santa.
