Matt,

I upgraded 4 computers using the drivers from swat 4 to 6 weeks ago. Three have 295.49, and one has 295.53. The 295.40 driver was nvidia-current. The swat drivers replace the driver in nvidia-current, which was 295.40 originally. I locked the nvidia-current from swat using synaptic and no updates have changed the driver on any of these computers. I understand that the 295.49 driver is in nvidia-current-upgrades and not in nvidia-current. One nvidia 6500 card worked perfectly in Ubuntu 11.04 and earlier. This is a backup computer. In 11.10 when I would do something, it always seemed to be a little sluggish. With the 294.40 driver in Ubuntu 12.04 it was worse. The 295.53 driver improved things a lot, but it srtill wasn't right. A week ago I went looking for a video card to replace it. I got a relly good ATI card for $24 That is a much, much better card than I had. The computer works great now.
