The nvidia forum site 195.36.24 for Linux x86/x86_64 released - nV News Forums and the nVidia web site: NVIDIA DRIVERS 195.36.24 Certified have this to say about this new driver release:

  -   Added support for the following GPUs:
      o GeForce GTX 480
      o GeForce GTX 470
      o Tesla C2050
  -  Fixed a problem that caused occasional red flashes in XVideo frames.
  -  Added official support for xserver 1.8. The -ignoreABI option is no longer required with this version of the server.
  -  Updated the "Supported NVIDIA GPU Products" list to include various supported GPUs that were missing previously.

I have not tested this myself on my PCs.

If I remember right you have a 8400GS, have you tried this new
release with it on 11.2 with KDE 4.4.2?
