If those steps don't work and you don't care about 3D support you should go with frostpixie's suggestion and use the nv driver. It's built-in and shouldn't cause you problems... again... if you don't need 3D support.

That might be the way to go. I am not gaming with this box, just learning Ubuntu. I do want better resolution than 800x600 though.
If you go with "nv" :
Be sure that you haven't added "nv" to DISABLED_MODULES, which I posted earlier
Change the DISABLED_MODULES line to read:Code:gksudo gedit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
If you think you need 3D support, I'd do a fresh install of intrepid and follow these steps again:DISABLED_MODULES=""

Sweet-will check that first! Thanks.
is it SUDO, sudo, or sh? when trying to run the pkg I get "bash: SUDO: command not found"
Once you've gone to Ctrl+Alt+F1 you need to stop gdm then run it as
sudo ./nameoffile.run
Make sure also that you have changed to the correct directory
Then restart gdm - so if file is on the desktop, change to the tty Ctrl+Alt+F1
cd Desktop
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo ./NVI<tab> - you can use tab to autocomplete the name
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
After you hit Ctrl+Alt+F1.... you gotta log in again (on the black screen) before running the other stuff.

Ok, we're almost there. Somewhere I'm missing the change to root. It's trying to use my password ( my user ) so it recognizes SUDO. It is not, however using root priviledges. How do I verify that I'm root? doesn't SUDO do that?
Ok, it's running now but i have to stop X. How do I stop X?
