    Question NVIDA drivers not installing in Lucid or Meerkat.

    There are several things going on here.

    * Mouse jumps to the side when I click on things when zoom is activated.

    * After an upgrade in Lucid,I'd start up the computer and everything would be very slow. Windows would open from the bottom and I could not click on anything cause when I tried,the mouse would jump to the side. Zoom slow and clunky.
    Mouse fireball always turned off.
    I'd uninstall and reinstall Compiz and that would fix it for about three days and then it's back to the same problems.

    I end up having to click no effects then click effects (middle button) and it looks for drivers,then I have to reactivate the mouse fireball.
    This happened every day,day in day out.
    So I installed Meerkat Sat. and it was fine till this morning,now the same problem has reasserted itself.
    What can I do?
    Do I need a new video card?

    It definitely sounds like a hardware issue if it happens on 2 different installs.
