</div>This is only true for nvidia drivers <= 180.11 due to a change on how<br>
libvdpau is being packaged.<br>
<br>
The requirement to uninstall the previous nvidia drivers is true for<br>
any nvidia drivers > 180.11: that includes drivers found in the<br>
official ubuntu repository (8.10 comes with 8.22) and using the new<br>
nvidia drivers found in 9.04.<br>
<br>
Wanted to emphasise that this issue isn't linked to using my<br>
repository ; I only repackaged the drivers that will ship with Jaunty<br>
using exactly the same structure.<br>
