    Yes. Finally I can ditch my long custom xorg file. This driver works out of the box with my LG 32″ HD ready TV that’s connected to my media centre.

    if your system (min13) freezes after updating to the NVIDIA drivers then try this:
    - press CTRL+ALT+F1
    - login as usual and reverse operation:

    sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current nvidia-settings

    -reboot and you should be back to using older drivers.

  • Muslehk

    it does not work her. even the that the graphic card nvidia geforce go 7600 is suppose to be supported by the new driver!

  • Markus

    ASUS F3JM with Geforce go 7600 crashes the graphical login, so I had to revert the stuff. Sigh.
