I found this one: "Yes.. the nvidia and ati drivers have been removed on purpose from rtand xen packages - it says so in the changelog under the 2.6.22-9release. Quote:linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 (2.6.22.2-9.6) gutsy; urgency=low * Oh well, disable xen/rt for fglrx and nvidia. It doesn't state why they were removed neither if they will be back." Does anybody know something about this? Is there any way I can get themback in? Meanwhile, I'll return to google...
