Sorry to add more traffic on this bug, but I think I have something to add that no one has said.
Perhaps a Multiverse package could contain the 96xx drivers until it has been established whether they will be supported by NVidia? That way Ubuntu does not have to worry about supporting the drivers and they would be available without much hassle to those of us who need it (enabling multiverse is easy). If there could be a plug in restricted- manager that would allow it to enable the 96xx driver once they were installed from Multiverse that would be nice. But regardless, "aptitude install ...; nvidia-glx-config enable" is a lot easier than the NVidia installer. Also, once it becomes clear whether NVidia will be supporting the drivers it will be easy to either move them Restricted or not depending. Just a thought for a compromise. -Arthur -- MASTER: Request for new-legacy nvidia drivers (9631) https://launchpad.net/bugs/96430 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
