Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: compiz
On a clean installation of Lucid from 20100331.2 daily Live CD, I
attempted to enable "Extra" visual effects from the Appearance
Preferences window. Ubuntu searched for drivers, and then installed the
nvidia 173 driver, rather than the current version (I believe, 195).
If the current version is marked [Recommended] in the Hardware Drivers
applet, shouldn't we follow our own advice and prefer it?
