I currently have an Nvidia 6100 integrated graphics card with drivers installed through envyNG. I also have my home folder on a separate partition.

Should I disable the nvidia-glx drivers before I upgrade? also, will 8.10 recognize my partition as a home folder or will I have to prep my config files?

If you are upgrading from 8,04 then your /home partition will be untouched.

Check the Envy site and make sure there isn't a newer version for 8.10. If after the install you can't get the screen resolution you expected you might have to rerun Envy.

I disabled the drivers and then upgraded, then re added the drivers. I've been told that is the best way to do it. Also make sure and backup all data and config files :)
