I have a computer with a GeForce 4 MX GPU (integrated into the motherboard) and as is well known, the proprietary NVIDIA drivers don't work with the current version of Xorg and the kernel. NVIDIA recently released beta drivers that supposedly do (and do, from reports on other forums) but the maintainer of the Ubuntu package of these drivers at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-96/+bug/251107 recommended that you wait until an Ubuntu version was released or nasty things could happen.
This package maintainer recently posted at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-96/+bug/251107/comments/43a set of modified versions of these drivers for Ubuntu use, and I was wondering how to install them. There's no included readme file, but at the above post he says I would have to remove them from the Jockey Blacklist, which isn't something I know how to do. So how do I install these drivers (or is there an automated debian package somewhere I can install?
P.S. I already know about having to add the line Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" to my xorg.conf to get these to work correctly.
