As you said it's a shame that it has taken so long to fix this bug. A working Linux 3D driver for the GeForce 8000 series has been available at least from early March this year. As it has been known for long now, the bug isn't in the driver, but in the packaging. This bug has caused Ubuntu a lot of bad press. When reviewers using a GeForce 8000 series graphics card have tried to enable the much anticipated desktop effects, they have found themselves stairing at the command line instead. Then they write that Ubuntu is buggy. Ofcourse it's not just about the reviewers, but everyone who have this popular graphics card in their machine. The next wave of problems is perhaps to be expected when those who have managed to install the driver from the Nvidia web site start to upgrade their system to Gutsy. I can't avoid thinking that someone has greatly underestimated the significance of this bug. -- [nvidia-glx-new] NVidia driver missing libwfb https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/98641 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
