Fix Jaunty graphical instability by updating Nvidia drivers

m posted May 11, 2009

The Nvidia drivers that came with the Jaunty Jackalope release of Ubuntu GNU/Linux were highly unstable on my laptop. The most recent version of Nvidia's proprietary drivers for AMD64 Linux and the GeForce M9 were 180.51, although 180.44 was the latest available in the distribution. Among the changes in 180.51 were stability fixes, which so far, appear to be doing the trick.

One can either fetch the drivers and install them manually from Nvidia, or more easily add deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ricotz/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main to /etc/apt/sources.list and then run apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade to get the most recent drivers.
