So, what are folks doing to get the latest NVIDIA drivers onboard smoothly? From the looks of the TRAC these changes are moving into mainstream code and I'd love to play with them on my machine!
In my case, I'm running jaunty, so the version in the repos is 180.29. When I was using intrepid, I just ran the vanilla nvidia installer and that was ok. I've been running jaunty on my main htpc for a couple months and it's stable enough for me. Last week I upgraded my server/htpc for the office and bedroom (multi-seat X) and it's been smooth sailing.
