I tried to install the driver from NVidia's site as Emilio suggested,
but found it would not work.  The 256.53 driver available on their site
is incompatible with 2.6.38 kernel used by Natty.  I get the message
"error: unknown field ‘ioctl’ specified in initializer" and then
"nvidia.ko failed to build" when compiling.  It might be possible to
downgrade the kernel to get it to work, but I don't particularly want to
do that.

/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p now says "Not software rendered: no"
but it said yes before I started messing around with stuff.  Any idea
how I can get it changed back to yes?

This bug really needs to get fixed.  Can we change the importance to
high?  The bugs with high importance affect far, far fewer people than
this bug, so I think the prioritization is out of whack.
