Darik: Your packaging works for me, got nvidia running *thumbs up*. The only issue I ran into was X's driver autodetection, which seems to select VESA even if there are all nv, nouveau and nvidia to choose from. Setting driver to "nvidia" in xorg.conf seems to solve that, and I think it is bug some

I think the new driver should be packaged and the package released asap, and this bug report should be updated. Now it seems that we're all waiting that somebody does something, but nobody does anything. That makes, IMO, Ubuntu in whole look bad. -- ABI change in xorg 1.9 breaks legacy nvidia-96

@angandrob: As far as I know this bug cannot be fixed until NVidia releases xorg 1.9 compatible binary driver. And NVidia has told via its forum that they will release nvidia-96 driver for xorg 1.9, but it is low priority issue for them. So all we can do now is sit back, relax and enjoy our nv/vesa

This might be related: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=153963 . So it seems that making their legacy drivers work with X server 1.9 is low priority issue for NVidia. Too bad that some (including me) just can't upgrade to nvidia-current. I don't know the details to be sure, but fo
