If you don't want to enable the proposed-updates repository, and would prefer to install updated the packages manually, this method worked for me and my GeForce 4 Ti 4200:
1. Download and install the new jockey packages. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/0.5.10-0ubuntu5.2/+build/2060531 2. Jockey should now offer the nVidia 96 driver. Enable it. This will install version 96.43.18, which won't actually work, so don't reboot yet. However, this step is still useful because it installs dependencies, and makes the necessary configuration changes to enable the driver. 3. Download and install the new driver package. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics- drivers-96/96.43.19-0ubuntu1/+build/2057864 4. Reboot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-96 in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626974 Title: ABI change in xorg 1.9 breaks legacy nvidia-96 drivers in Maverick _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
