Hello everyone.
I have been struggling for a while to be able to install the legacy nvidia-96 drivers in ubuntu 12.04.
When I was about to give up, I noticed NVIDIA release some new drivers compatible with the Xorg version used in 12.04.

I then looked for a debian package to perform this install that I found here:
https://launchpad.net/debian/experimental/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-96xx
However, after a while trying to satisfy all dependencies, I noticed that a required package nvidia-installer-cleanup is in conflict with ubuntu-drivers-common (they both share a sub-package nvidia-common). I have even tried the 12.10 repositories but with no luck.
In fact, there is no candidate package for nvidia-installer-cleanup either in 12.10 or 12.04.
Has anyone tried to do the same thing? This should not be very difficult to wrap up... but not for me.
