I have to say that instaling the nvidia drivers on Ubuntu 8.10 was pretty easy, and enabling / disabling them can be done in a few clicks, My Jaunty box however is runing an MX 420 card, and is stuck at 640x480, so I have enabled panning, if I then connect using remote desktop it actually displays the whole desktop on the other screen so there is no panning (move mouse over screen border to display more desktop) involved. I tried to install a geforce 5200 the other day on my current 8.10 box, and had a few issues, but at no point was a dropped to a command line. I need to have another look at it.
