I have now tested a bit Cedrick Schieli's Nvidia-96 driver in Natty and it seems mostly to work OK, BUT:
Now I have a problem with changing workspaces (bottom right corner of the screen). When clicking one of the squares, I may get a new workspace or not and if I do, the number of the workspace may be any one of the four even when clicking the same square. Also changing to a new workspace doesn't go smoothly - it seems Ubuntu is trying several times to show the new screen before it succeeds (if it does at all). The display flickers back and forth between workspaces several times before settling to one of them - not necessarily the one I wanted. Also sometimes the whole Ubuntu freezes when trying to change workspaces - even the cursor doesn't move. The only way out then is to turn the power off from the computer.

Now, I cannot tell if this is because of the new driver, or does something else cause it, but this started after installation of Cedrick's software.
