Hi Stephen.

I just wanted to tell you that in my case I had more luck.
I managed with difficulty to uninstall the drivers N-Vidia. Now I use
the generic drivers, but it lost 3D acceleration (as you know ...) and
all effects of Ubuntu ...

On Karmic could make maximum use of the graphics card ...
I must resign myself to the idea? Karmic Or should I install?
