More mucking about

I've been fiddling around a bit with my Ubuntu 8.10 installation.

I tried, again, to install the latest NVIDIA driver without success, but then went back to an older version (yet newer than what Ubuntu will provide in its non-free apt sources) and that worked! So I am now in a 180.x version of the NVIDIA driver which is SUPPOSED to have much improved 2D and 3D support.

I also have been fiddling around with various display engines and ended up going back to the standard Ubuntu Desktop, and tweaking it from there.

Fun fun fun!
