I had been without nvidia drivers for nearly six months, on both ubuntu 7.10 and 8,04; after an update broke my system. Tried everything to fix it, reverting to old kernel and nvidia drivers, google, forums, nothing helped. Finally, last month, one last googling, saw envyNG and tried it. That nvidia spalsh screen really made my day. And it survived the latest updates as well. Alberto Milone is the greatest. envyNG is great.

This is notable because there is a newer (beta) driver from NVIDIA which adds support for 19 devices unsupported by Ubuntu, including very popular recent cards (the entire 9 series) - but this is NOT installable in any Ubuntu-friendly way Envy is, at this point in time, worthless – it is only capable of installing precisely the same driver releases found already in Hardy, meaning all it does is duplicate the work of the Hardware Drivers screen.
