Hello! Didn't check the mailing list for a while. Here is a howto which uses vanilla NVidia driver from nvidia.com and dkms to achieve a purr-fect NVidia prop accel. ===== First of all (before steps), download the "dkms" pack (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2133016/dkms.tar.gz), and the nvidia driver from nvidia.com into your home directory. Step1, remove the drivers (if you installed any of them). Fix the "180" to "190" or "195" , don't sure how Ubuntu calls it at the minute. Then, install the neccessary packages: "sudo apt-get install build-essential dkms" At step 2, edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf . (Check if its modprobe.d/ , maybe it is called "blacklist.d" , I'm not sure about it (and can't check it at the moment), try both. Only one exists/works.) Add 2 new entries to the end: blacklist nv blacklist nouveau
3. Do a reboot, at the boot menu, select recovery mode. Go with the "root mode with networking" (or what, its at the bottom, you will be able to identify it, don't worry about the instructions. :)) When it boots, type your root password. Then type: init 3 . Login again (yay). Now, install the driver with sudo sh ./NV* . There will be an error about "distributor provided.." don't care about it, just agree, yes yes (more, grep, fsck :)). After it finishes, do a sudo nvidia-xconfig . THEN, do the sudo sh ./installdkms* part. After it finishes, you are done, reboot. == This howto is basically copied out from my SuperUser answer and its a modified howto from Ubuntuforums.com (the dkms script is written by "Npl".) Hope it helps. If you encounter any problem, email me or reply to the mailing list.
