    Re: nvidia-96 ripped from kubuntu repos

    The KWIN effects will not work because the nvidia-96 driver is no longer in the repos.

    Re: nvidia-96 ripped from kubuntu repos

    What I meant is that I would install Precise and settle for Unity 2D on these older cards. I really appreciate Unity 2D, but it's just too bad that I can't continue testing that in U+1.
