Something's working -

I installed Karmic beta from disk, but before doing the reboot I added
Steve's .ppa  to my repository, downloaded and

 sudo  dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-nv_2.1.14-2ubuntu4_amd64.deb

I rebooted sans CD and it came up fine. I rebooted again, still fine. I
installed synaptic and looked at what was installed, it wasn't version
4, but version 3 (the old, non-working one I thought)! I don't
understand, I could see version 4 staying in effect for one reboot (then
apparently getting replaced by the old one), but, it wouldn't happen
only on the 2nd time . Ie, it doesn't look like the new .ubuntu4 .deb is
in effect, yet it's working.

I'm in the midst of updating, I've got the ...ubuntu4 .deb handy just in
case for the next reboot, I'm not sure what happened but overall
something's right.

Let me know what you need as proof that it's working (and proof that
that was the problem, maybe).
