[Bug 626974] Re: ABI change in xorg 1.9 breaks legacy nvidia-96 drivers in Maverick

 

If you don't want to enable the proposed-updates repository, and would
prefer to install updated the packages manually, this method worked for
me and my GeForce 4 Ti 4200:

1. Download and install the new jockey packages.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/0.5.10-0ubuntu5.2/+build/2060531

2. Jockey should now offer the nVidia 96 driver. Enable it. This will
install version 96.43.18, which won't actually work, so don't reboot
yet. However, this step is still useful because it installs
dependencies, and makes the necessary configuration changes to enable
the driver.

3. Download and install the new driver package.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-
drivers-96/96.43.19-0ubuntu1/+build/2057864

4. Reboot.
