Is there an easy way to get to the 256 drivers (and stay there) with
Mythbuntu 10.04? nvidia-current tops out at 195. For a while I used the
x-swat ppa to get the newer drivers, but that pushes me to 260. Any time
I;ve ventured from allowing an install through a repository like Ubuntu or
x-swat, it's been too much of an adventure. The one time I did succeed, as
soon as the kernel updated, I lost it.
