Now I updated, and I guess I don't know what Nvidia driver to use?

Thanks.

I am using latest 256, howto:

Quote:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
Quote:sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-current-modaliases nvidia-settings
Quote:sudo reboot
After that go to System => Administrtion => Drivers and check is running if not run it and reboot.

Shall I remove the old one?

I don't think you absolutely need to remove the old one but the clean way would be to *first* apt-purge the nvidia edge repo and *then* apt-add the x-swat repo (please google the correct commands)
After I followed the steps, I get this.

Which one shall I pic? (The names was more logical with the other PPA on Karmic)

EDIT: I have now removed the old one namned only "Nvidia" (that was a left over).
I now remember there was a file I should edit, to load the nvidia driver on start up? What was that?

you'd really do yourself a favor if you boot into terminal and do that stuff via command line as superuser

I will try that the next time, because it works now. I had to add Driver "nv" manually, and then after next reboot, I could copy back my xorg.conf.
