I did the same thing but I am getting the following error: Cannot install 'nvidia-glx-legacy' This application conflicts with other installed software. To install 'nvidia-glx-legacy' the conflicting software must be removed first. Switch to the 'synaptic' package manager to resolve this conflict. Thanks a lot for video.

A good follow-up for this would be instructions for those stuck with non-functional (under linux) dialup connections. I tried the nvidia drivers, but it wants the source tree, which I dont have. The past couple of days, I've been hunting for the NVIDIA-drivers-for-ubuntu.deb packages, but so fat didnt find them. Can anyone give me a link to somewhere in the repository (for 7.10) where they reside? Thanx. By the way, kdaskh, great tip. That's something every *nix user should know. It took me two weeks to figure it out myself. Great!
