Ok I've been reading all the hair pulling on both Ubuntu and Kubuntu forums about Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 cards (and above). Seems a lot of confusion about what card is legacy supported and what is not.
There also seems to have been a period where the *ubuntu drivers themselves were swapped around or just plain wrong as far as legacy versus not.
(Due to lack of knowledge on my part) I wound up re-installing my Kubuntu 7.04 three times this last weekend because going through the default update/install routines delivered with 7.04 for the Nvidia cards always broke my graphics settings.
The settings are at this point completely bare with a "NV" card with "NV" drivers and I can get around at 1024x768. I have touched nothing since the last install because every time I install the glx "new" or the glx "legacy" Nvidia drivers (as of last weekend) things just plain went dark.
Here's the question;
When Feisty is officially released will the install/update routines correctly configure for my Nvidia card or will I have to go through a lot of manual reconfiguration routines?
Once the official release is installed would future "updates" break my settings like what happened last week? I had it installed correctly once and the download updates (lower right hand corner icon) broke it.
Thanks
