I have had a GeForce 6200 that has worked beautifully in Ubuntu for over a year. One thing, though. If you installed the nvidia-glx-new package, then wanted to revert back to nvidia-glx, be aware that due to a bug in the package, it leaves behind an empty file which is used as a switch to tell Ubuntu what kernel module to load. If you want nvidia-glx-new uninstalled, then type this after you do it: $ sudo rm /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia.new.installed I struggled with that for hours and hours before finally figuring out my problem. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
