This works well for most people, but I have a system with two NVidia graphics cards, one which uses the 177 driver, and another which needs the 96 driver. With the Ubuntu drivers way, I can't get both to run at once - the packages are exclusive of each other. If I could use a non-Xen kernel, I could then get the 177 and 96 drivers from NVidia and install them myself. Dan -- "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"
