There is still a problem unless the main x-org file has been changed on the
cd iso image for Karmic.  I do not know if the old 71 nvidia drivers are now
in the repositories or not.  I use and old TNT Riva card and it requires the
71 nv drivers.  If you can make sure this file is included in the
repositories then someone new to ubuntu would not have to go to the Nvidia
site and install manually.  You know a newbe will not do this they will just
drop the Linux CD into the garbage bin.

Thank you.
