Comment 44 for bug 391461

Just wanted to say Nvidia works fine for me under Karmic with compiz on my MacBook Pro 5,1:

lspci -v:
2:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce 9600M GT] (rev a1)
 Subsystem: Apple Computer Inc. Device 00a9
 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 23
 Memory at a4000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
 Memory at 80000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
 Memory at a2000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32M]
 I/O ports at 3000 [size=128]
 [virtual] Expansion ROM at a5000000 [disabled] [size=512K]
 Capabilities: <access denied>
 Kernel driver in use: nvidia
 Kernel modules: nvidia, nvidiafb

$ grep flags /proc/cpuinfo

So this clearly doesn't affect all Nvidia users under Karmic.
