When I first installed 10.10 I actually used your PPA for the -lowlatency kernel. Yes, it was for Natty as was recommended by several posts I found, but as you mentioned, the nvidia drivers didn't work. If I understand correctly there must be three sets of drivers for nvidia cards now: nv nvidia - FLOSS nvidia - proprietary Am I correct in saying that by default the FLOSS drivers will be installed? How would I remove the FLOSS drivers and go back to the NV drivers if I want to install your -lowlatency kernel? Will the NV drivers support the GeForce 8600GTS card? snip > > Unfortunately there is a problem in how the ice1712 is presented to > pulseaudio.

Then install the -lowlatency kernel from your PPA. Then get the 1010lt working with the onboard card disabled. Thanks again for your help.
