NVIDIA Pushes Out New Driver With No Change-Log

Well dang it. I kinda gave up quickly. I just figured I'd try it again and record the error, and sure enough it installed fine.
Sorry for being misleading, since the error did state that either I used the wrong gcc version or my GPU wasn't supported. I was certain I had the right gcc version, so that left me with the other. Not sure now why it gave that error, and I am not able to reproduce it either.
Well, thanks for trying to help anyways.

Code:ui_error(op, "Unable to load the kernel module '%s'.

Do what I do and use this repo for it.
Copy both apt lines into your sources and add the key. The key is easy to add. Just click on the key link and click again. Then you copy it to a text file and then add the key. He also has an intrepid PPA for those who don't want to use Jaunty. I'm using it on Jaunty Alpha 6 amd64 and it seems to work great. Install it from this PPA and enjoy.

One question though... the mplayer that is in it... does it have the VDPAU included? How does one use it? I mean, I installed it and used it to play a downloaded h.264 file (the one with the bunny) and it still pegs out one of my cores. (BTW, this is my laptop, which has a 8600M GT)

+10 to NVIDIA.
(*): Sometimes X is getting completely white, the keyboard doesn't work anymore. Only a remote shutdown helps here. This happens with driver 180.29.
Ciao,
