I’m still operating in crippled mode here, my 1680×1050 monitor is operating at 1024×768 because Ubuntu issued an update that blew out my Nvidia drivers, my pre-emptive kernel, my nx-libs which freenx and x2go rely on, among other things.

I can not get nvidia’s drivers from their website installed and the ones that are provided with the Ubuntu distribution never did work properly with my graphics card (an antique GT7300).

I’ve complete rebuilt the kernel and they still won’t install although the original problem they complained about is gone.  Frustrating!
