hmm now my nvidia driver no longer works
... a few days ago i updated and rebooted ubuntu (believe it was a kernel upgd.) and my nvidia drivers disappeard in restricted-manager. Ive tried running it "-c" "-u" and my install is up to date (in fact i think i remeber seeing ?.15" as the version of r-m i have). I checked apt-gert and the proper restricted-modules and nvidia-glx packages are installed. but whenever i try to start xorg.conf using the "nvidia" driver i get no screens found. in r-m nvidia doesnt show up even after asking it to "-u"... but lspci shows the hardware is clearly visible on the bus and the nvidia module available in proper version. what should i do... i was hoping restricted-manager meant it'd be eaier to deal with kernel upgrades (not having to run the nvidia driver installer to recompile the modules after each kern upgd) but it seems r-m has actually made it impossible for me to use the nvidia after a kernel upgrade, but alas it seems its a bane of being undder development eh :-)
Thanks,
