Latest nVidia & ATi drivers for Ubuntu 6.06

The nVidia and ATi drivers in the Dapper repositories are getting very old. So if like me, you want the very latest in nVidia tech you should add these repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list

Code:

deb http://www.albertomilone.com/drivers/dapper/nonlegacy/32bit binary/

And add the key:

Code:

wget http://www.albertomilone.com/drivers/tseliot.asc

Code:

gpg --import tseliot.asc

Code:

gpg --export --armor [email protected] | sudo apt-key add -

I installed the 'very latest' nVidia legacy driver from there and all is working fine

 

Will this work with Kubuntu and once i followed the instructions should i automatically have 3d acceleration such as direct rendering?

 

Worth a try at least.

 

Bare in mind these are BLEEDING EDGE drivers, your allot more likely to have problems with them than the ones in the default repositories... you can have stability or performance, rarely both!

just a heads up!

 

I can attest that the latest build of NVidia's drivers are very stable, though I am installing them manually on Debian, and not automatically on *ubuntu.
