[Novalug] graphical issues

[Don E. Groves, Jr.]

Which nvidia card?
Which set of drivers do you installed for the card?
  The ones in "linux-restricted-modules"
  Or "nvidia-glx" or "nvidia-glx-new"
  Or by "nvidia-(new-)kernel-source"

{-: I like the last one as you don't get all the other restricted JUNK and
it's overhead included with it. But you are required to have the
kernel-headers and gcc installed instead. :-}

Which version of (U)Kbuntu are you running?
