Comment 14 for bug 626918

Someone over on the nvidia forums kindly suggested installing 256.53 from the nvidia repos. That has me up and running. I have no idea how this affects further Ubuntu updates, however. The "Additional drivers" tool still says "(version current) [Recommended]", which seems meaningless now. Why is there version number shown on that tool?

What is irritating me is this idea that somehow there are no working drivers for my card when they had been working absolutely fine until yesterday. This is a bug. For it to suddenly be deemed "unsupported hardware" is ridiculous, imo.
