Fresh install of Ubuntu and my video card is not working, here is how I fixed it.
Installing Geforce MX 4000 PCI Drivers on Ubuntu Breezy Badger from command line as root:

1. /etc/apt/sources.list a uncomment all commented sources
2. Run -> apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings
3. Run -> cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.default
4. Run -> nvidia-glx-config enable
5. Run -> vi /usr/share/applications/NVIDIA-Settings.desktop
6. Add to NVIDIA-Settings.desktop:
   

   [Desktop Entry]
   Name=NVIDIA Settings
   Comment=NVIDIA Settings
   Exec=nvidia-settings
   Icon=
   Terminal=false
   Type=Application
   Categories=Application;System;

7. Cross your fingers and restart

If you like high quality free software, download one of these cds. They include many worthy replacements for commercial desktop applications. GIMP replaces Photoshop, OpenOffice replaces Microsoft Office Suite, and NVU replaces DreamWeaver. These are all high quality applications which will read and write the proprietary formats (i.e. OpenOffice will create a .ppt Power Point Slide Files )

A few changes to the site layout. I had to get rid of the sliding navigation. It had lost it’s novelty and I got too many complaints. The new menu does not sport links to the categories of the Blog, I decided that it is pretty pointless to emphasize the links to all the categories when I don’t update often enough to really push anything off the front page quickly. The category links now appear below the random image so the functionality is still there. also, I liked the Martian Sunset so much that I decided to put it on the front page. If you know someone who is really into Linux look at the linux supervillian flash, it is in the Geek section of the links.

This is a great picture pull from nasa.gov. It was taken by the Rover Spirit on May 19, 2005 ( Rover Spirit’s 489 day on Mars ). This photo depicts a martian sunset, notice the small size of the Sun since Mars is farther away. This makes an excellent Desktop Wallpaper and as such will probably be the first entry in my Desktop Wallpaper album. To Install as Desktop Wallpaper click the ‘Full Resolution’ link then right-click the image and select ‘Set As Desktop Background’.

nasa.gov is a great place to go to spend time looking through photos and reading.
