Ubuntu 7.10: Gutsy Gibbon [Guide]

Ah, the Guide.. Most of the basics can be found here.

Gutsy: NVIDIA GeForce 6600

With the sorceress spiraling out of control with no attention from me, I finally decided to give it some much deserved attention. With the release of Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10) i ran a distro upgrade and X crashed on the reboot. So i decided to install from scratch.

After the install. I needed to get my DVI working.
sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic
After that's done, go to System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager and turn on the driver. Restart and that should work.
