Note the workarounds appear _not_ to work with Natty. I upgraded and couldn't convince Natty to install -96 fully. I don't recall the exact message, but I think it suggested it couldn't satisfy the package dependencies. When I install 185 as in comment #9, the driver doesn't appear to recogniz

I was messing with a different disk today and I noticed the most current nvidia driver works in addition to the -96 driver. I deleted all the loaded nvidia packages, then deleted the nouveau package, then with the gui tool installed the nvidea-185 package and then rebooted. It shows I have the fo

I re-installed 10.04 on a different disk, and found that a fresh install used the nouveau driver as well and that it too exhibited the screen garbage problem. However, with 10.04, selecting "hardware drivers" offers the Nvidia accelerated graphics driver (version 96), which, once activated, wo
