Don't get the driver from Ubuntu repo's, download it on NVidia's site for one, I ALWAYS get problems on ANY distro downloading a driver over apt-get, yum, etc.. Even though I have a ATI card it's the same ballgame

• 1. download the drivers off NVidia
  2. get the sources for your kernel
  3. run the installer
  4. run the config tool for the driver
  5. ???
  6. PROFIT!!!

NOTE: The last 2 lines are a regular joke on the geek news site(Slashdot) pay no mind to them.

Well it works fine for me so Ill stick with it. How can I disable vsync?

if you followed all those, start up gnome-termal or what ever you have and just type nvidia-settings and you should be able to find it there...

Work spot on for me too. I did try the way that it says on the nVidia site, and found it to be a real nightmare, so I did it via synaptic instead, and it work effortlessly.
