racitup, I had that issue this morning when the packages were first submitted. It took about an hour for the 404 error to stop.
I am still a relative new and uninformed user. I've only been using Ubuntu for a few months now and still haven't figured out all the commands and whatnot for things. What I am looking for is a command to find out which driver is currently in use? I have an old Geforce2 GTS. I tried installing the 71.X drivers. Failed to load module "nvidia"... Same error. Someone above mentioned that they tried the 96.x drives and they worked for them on a card that used to use the 71.x drivers, so I tried that. The driver loaded fine and then told me that my GPU was not support on the driver and gave a device not found error. I removed all the packages again. This time when I removed the nvidia-xx-modaliases packages, it asked to remove envyng-core, envyng-gtk, and nvidia-common as well. I then installed the `nvidia-71-kernel-source` package which installed `nvidia-71-glx`with it. When that was done, I installed the nvidia modaliases packages and rebooted. Same error as before, Failed to load module "nvidia"... In the menu that popped up, I told it to reconfigure for the default generic device, and rebooted. After logging in and everything finished booting, the "New Restricted Driver In Use" icon appeared in the panel and it says the nvidia driver is in use. I tried `compiz --replace` to see if that would start, but it gave the no whitelisted driver found error and reverted to metacity. I am getting conflicted reports on which driver is actually in use.
