Comment 301 for bug 353126

after I added the nvidia ppa and installe the nvidia drivers, I checked to see if it was installed and running by 1) checking the hardware drivers to see if nvidia current driver was installed and active, I also checked sysinfo which also showed that it was installed. I then ran sudo nvidia-settings from a terminal and accepted the default settings, hit save that writes the correct xorg.conf file, reboot and everything runs great. Althouhg using the default vnc viewer from ubuntu stinks, I just use remmina and set the colrs to 256, great performance andit seems to be working. I did not test with the 185 drivers on 10.04 so I can't comment on that, but past experience with 9.10 indicates that it does not work.
