Can anyone recommend a driver for the 9800GTX+ 512MB video card. I've tried both the 173 and 177 drivers that are available with the hardware driver utility, but neither work satisfactoraly. The problem i have is garbage being displayed when a different app is enabled. E.g. If i start firefox, i get a mosaic of previous application screens as the display is refreshed.
No matter what app i use, if i log off or shut down the garbage is displayed during the switch, even when freshly booting up the display is garbage prior to logging in. I've had this problem with other distro's using upto the latest 180 drivers so i'm hoping that a driver prior to 173 (if there is one), will prove better for Kubuntu. It's getting a royal pain as i usually have a few apps open at the same time (on different desktops), and having to literaly wait until the display settles before i can use an app is not really good.
As a comparison there is no problem with the card using windoze so i'm assuming it's the driver.

Anyway... at least the 180.11's do seem better.
