In principle yes, but as the current nvidia/fglrx drivers in Natty are
totally broken (they are currently not available for the current X.org
ABI), they will be updated by the end of the release (assuming that
there will be a new compatible upstream release up to that point).
That's strange -- there's no mention of this on the nvidia linux amd64
driver page:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-260.19.36-driver.html
are you sure that 260.19.36 is broken as well for x.org 1.10?
While on the subject, the package naming scheme for the nvidia binary
drivers doesn't make any sense to me:
--------------------------
Package nvidia-173-kernel-source
* natty (misc): Transitional package for
nvidia-glx-173-kernel-source [restricted]
173.14.28-0ubuntu4: amd64 i386
Package nvidia-180-kernel-source
* natty (misc): Transitional package for
nvidia-glx-185-kernel-source [restricted]
185.18.36-0ubuntu9: amd64 i386
Package nvidia-185-kernel-source
* natty (misc): Transitional package for
nvidia-glx-185-kernel-source [restricted]
260.19.29-0ubuntu1: amd64 i386
--------------------------
Huh? Things seem to have gone off the rail around version 180 and then
got progressively worse. Any chance the package naming scheme can be
rendered sensible, at least for the newest drivers?
