Clock setting with 177.xx driver does it work for you?

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance
#1

Ever since using the 177 version drivers (the ones from the CUDA 2.0 betas and the final) lowering (did not try raising) the memory or core frequency (either with nvidia-settings or nvclock) results in the PC hanging with a usually gray screen where the lower part flickers.
The system has two 8800 GTX cards.
Switching back to older drivers (174 and previous) makes it work again, but then I can’t use CUDA 2.0…
Does it work for everyone else? Does someone have the same problems?
EDIT: forgot to mention, this is running Linux (OpenSUSE 10.2).

I get the same results on RHEL 5 with 177.

This problem has been reproduced as bug 461816. It should be fixed in a future display driver release.

I can confirm that it works for me again with the x86_64 177.78 beta driver, thanks I can use all optimization helpers I can find :) .
