Alberto: Where are the packages available from? I wasn't able to find them.
They show up in the Jaunty queue https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+queue but 
I don't think they've been built yet. Launchpad search returns no matches: 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+search?text=nvidia-glx-180

I completely understand that the packages are in universe, but in the
grand scheme of things Canonical is doing a very poor job especially in
light of bug #1. Weeks have passed since the driver has been released by
Nvidia and it's still not available in Ubuntu. I consider good hardware
support the bare _minimum_ for us to stand a chance of resolving bug #1.

Please let me assure you, Alberto, that in no way I consider you
responsible for any of this -- In fact I have nothing but praise for
your work so far. Instead I think Canonical needs to find better ways
than relying on the community for basic hardware support such as video.
For example, Nvidia provides OpenSuse packages for their video drivers,
I would assume the same would be possible for Ubuntu.
