I did, and am not really pleased. When the screensaver blanks the
screen, it never recovers, I have to reboot to have a display again
... :/

But for any other more lucky folks than me the new driver exists at
ATrpms, use

apt-get install nvidia-graphics7664-kmdl-`uname -r` nvidia-graphics7664

and nvidia-graphics-switch to switch to the new driver (and back, as
soon as you find it's not suited for you, too ... :/)
