Yes, that worked Nvidia 310.32 installed and working fine on Generic. > FWIW 3D screensavers should work with nouveau too, I suspect that only a > few games need a proprietary driver. I'll be able to compare results between the Nouveau and proprietary drivers. Doesn't mean much I'm sure, but glxgears managed 85fps with Nouveau and 3,520fps with 310.32 (GeForce GTX 560 Ti) :) > I'm a Ubuntu Studio user too and removed my NVIDA graphics from my > computer, using the integrated ATI now, with the FLOSS driver.

Boot is so amazingly fast, it would hardly matter if I do need to go that way, but I prefer everything working well on one kernel if possible.
