EDIT: Problem solved, look at next post
I know there are a million posts about this, but I can't seem to get any solution to work for me. I trying fixing the apparently broken link, but that didn't work. I tried removing my nvidia-glx drivers and reinstalling, didn't remove. I am running a GeForce 3. My system detects a geforce 4 in the system settings. This the error message when I try apt-get remove nvidia-glx:
<code>
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y

Someone please help me! I've been at this 6 hours scouring the forums and rebooting dozens of times.... I'm a complete noob, and clueless what to do. Please help!
