Does anybody know how to install the latest graphics drivers from 
NVidia, including the 32-bit libraries, into 64-bit Dapper? I've got 
an NVidia FX5900 graphics card. Every time I install it following the 
guide at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75074 the 
installation works perfectly, with no error messages, but afterwards, 
when I try to load X (sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start) I just get the blue 
screen with the message that X can't start and I should make sure my 
xorg.conf is all correct. When I go back and change the driver back to 
nv, and enable the dri and glcore modules again, it works fine, but 
then I have no 3d acceleration. \I'd really like to get the 32-bit 
libraries working which is why I can't use nvidia-glx.
Thanks in advance,
Sasha
I have solved this problem. The drivers work when nvidia-glx is 
installed, as opposed to completely failing to work ala breezy.
