as far as i can see the 195 beta drivers are windows only. i can comfirm the 185 driver has problems on unbuntu 9.10, i had to update to 190.42 but then had refresh rate problems, on panning scenes the screen would have glitches. going to reinstall 9.04 tomorrow. i would suguest leave karmic for now, looks like it just too new.

195 are actually out on the nvidia homepage. Prior to install shut down xserver and apt-get your current kernel sources. Might also want to purge the old nvidia drivers! Works fine for me so far on 195.

the problem is the latest version of xbmc, alpha1 work well with karmic and 185
190 series have a serious bug with lpcm and this affect also DD TrueHD (there is no bitstream support on linux), and is related to the nvidia driver (affect also jaunty)

195.22

Does XBMC even support TRUEHD? I've got a Yamaha RX-465 reciever which supports it, and I'm using HDMI cables to send audio to my receiver, I've played a bluray rip (.ts) that had TrueHD audio, and my receiver only showed DTS or DD... I didn't think think that that support was in yet?

yes, ffmpeg decode DD TrueHD and send LPCM to your receiver (MultiChannel)
there is no DTS MA decoder and only the DTS core is played
