Problems with nVidia graphics card on Compaq Presario with 8.10
I am fairly new to Ubuntu and so far like the OS, however I have had a couple of problems with drivers for my Compaq Presario. Luckily there is a shop locally that has a couple of Ubuntu guys there that can work on it. Initially I had problems with my Broadcom wireless but that has been since fixed. Now I am having trouble with the drivers for the nVidia drivers, it will not allow me to use the normal setting for the desk top. I have been to nVidia's web site and downloaded what I belive to be the correct drivers but cannot install them now. The current graphics adapter is a nVidia NV 17 [GeForce4 440 Go 64M] (rev a3). Is there somewhere else I need to be looking for drivers or do I have the right ones and just don't understand how to install and use them?
