[Scognito <726496@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and Unity 3d (gnome shell also works), adding
UNITY_FORCE_START=1 to /etc/environment and I'm using "NVIDIA (post release
updates)(version 173-updates)" drivers from system settings -> drivers (I'm
italian, don't remember the correct english path).
Using nvidia-settings drivers version displayed is: 173.14.30
Works good on my HP DV6000 (4 years ago laptop) and GeForce Go 7400 256Mb,
Ubuntu installed from scratch (no update from 11.04).

Hope it will help someone, cheers :)
