Hiyas,

Assuming you're using 9.10
You can get the correct driver from over here --> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+package/nvidia-glx-185

If you're running on 9.04, when you get to the list of downloads, you'll want the Jaunty package and not the koala one, which is for 9.10

Regards,

Phill.

I tried Hardy with my Ge-Force 8600GT 1 GB PCI-E card but Hardy doesn't fly with that card either.

Nvm, I've solved my problem! All I did was to uninstall the driver and update using the Update Manager. =) Thx anyways!
