nvidia-glx-173 should work with that chipset and does not suffer from the logout issue. > I don't dare try to change my graphics driver. Unless something strange was done, changing between the versions is as simple as "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-173" or "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-96" or even "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177" depending on the version you want. Of course, after installing the new version, you'll need to restart X with the new module. Simplest way is a reboot. > One always looks forward to the next Ubuntu upgrade > but I have mixed feelings this time around. Maybe 10.4 will be good.

Which in this case would be nvidia. -- Jamin W.
