Dear Ubuntuer's
Have tried every combo of driver installation in hopes of installing Cuda 4.0 on vers. 10.10 and 11.04:
1) using pre-packaged PPAs from a number of generous contributors
2) stripping out separately and together nvidia-common, nvidia-current, nouveau drivers prior to adding latest
3) acpi, apic options in grub
4) incorporated earlier gcc/g++/cpp combo and soft linking before compiling
5) modifying xorg.conf to incorporate BusID info etc.
6) install of proprietary driver provided right after fresh OS install (260.xx version)
The nvidia supplied driver installs w/o error and nvidia-xconfig builds an xorg.conf. While new to Ubuntu, not new to linux (usually run Fedora boxes). Machine is a tyan h2000m 8 core with 12GB and a PNY GeForce 470 GTX. Virtualization and onboard video are turned off. TIA for any trailheads.
