I have the latest from NVIDIA's own site already, but as it happens it's the same as nvidia-current provided by Ubuntu.

The point is custom Ubuntu packages are generally less likely to cause
problem than generic Unix NVIDIA installer[/quote]
Okay, I had thought on reading that that just means I would have the driver installed which I did before going to NVIDIA's site, but on searching synaptic for nvidia I see there's nvidia-glx-173, which I'm assuming is what I had before because it's shown in jockey, but also a nvidia-glx-185 (270.41.06-0ubuntu1).
Neither of these are shown as installed because I ran the NVIDIA script from a TTY.
So will I just sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185?
