I installed the 180.22 drivers from NVidia to be able to use VDPAU. On that count, everything was a success (quite amazing, in fact).<br><br>The problem (and I've had the same problem before) is that I downloaded the NVidia drivers from their web site. The installation is basically just running an executable shell script which builds and installs things.<br>
<br>The problem is that it messes things up. I think it is an interaction with Ubuntu's "normal" way of installing the drivers. The issue is not that the drivers don't work but that the kernel modules don't seem to load properly on reboot.<br>
<br>Question #1: Are the newer (VDPAU) drivers available under Ubuntu? If so, what is the procedure to get them (apt-get install nvidia-settings?!?)<br><br>Question #2: If the answer to #1 is yes, what is the proper way to uninstall the ones I downloaded from NVidia?<br>
<br>Thanks for any help.<br><br>--<br>Mike<br><br>
