I used your method (more or less) on my Ubuntu 11.04 amd64 system and eventually got the 173.14.30 drivers installed and working. Like you, I installed the 173 drivers the "proper" way, using Synaptic and Jocky, and they locked up my machine. <br /><br />Sadly, while the 173 drivers are now installed, they work very, very slowly. Unity works, but other software relying on 3D is broken. For example, "glxgears" does not work very well at all on my system with the 173 drivers. Does it work on your system? <br /><br />I have found no good solution to the broken video drivers yet. All of the available proprietary nVidia drivers and the open source Nouveau drivers have problems. My current solution is to use the nvidia-current drivers and run either Unity-2D or Lubuntu. I do this because when I get Unity working, too many other things are broken, and the nvidia-current drivers work well enough, except for Unity. <br /><br />I hope this problem gets sorted out sooner rather than later.<br /><br />Cheers from Skokie, IL USA!
