I finally got around to trying "ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates" and installed their latest nvidia driver (270.18). I just wanted to report that it works great on my system (the one that I opened this bug report with). My thanks to the "swat" team.
Could someone answer this question? Is Ubuntu going to use the efforts of this "swat" team for the next release of Ubuntu or will this nvidia issue be left unaddressed as it has been for Ubuntu 10.10 on my Sony Vaio VPCF136FM. Does Ubuntu consider nvidia driver issues, because they are closed binaries, not to be under their care or is this ppa used by Ubuntu as part of their development process?
