I'm having big problems with my desktop freezing up unless I switch to
the "nv" driver. After reading this report I checked to see which
"nvidia" I have installed, and sure enough, the Gutsy "Restricted
Drivers Manager" installed "nvidia-glx" instead of "nvidia-glx-legacy".
I'm going to try to switch them out by hand, but isn't there some way
for RDM to auto-detect which driver is the appropriate one for my card?
Thanks. In case you're interested:
