Comment 122 for bug 771788

I tried to install the driver from NVidia's site as Emilio suggested, but found it would not work. The 256.53 driver available on their site is incompatible with 2.6.38 kernel used by Natty. I get the message "error: unknown field ‘ioctl’ specified in initializer" and then "nvidia.ko failed to build" when compiling. It might be possible to downgrade the kernel to get it to work, but I don't particularly want to do that.

/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p now says "Not software rendered: no" but it said yes before I started messing around with stuff. Any idea how I can get it changed back to yes?

This bug really needs to get fixed. Can we change the importance to high? The bugs with high importance affect far, far fewer people than this bug, so I think the prioritization is out of whack.
