Here's the situation:
Yesterday, after being without linux for a while, Firefox 2 on XP started crashing (And continued, after fresh FF2 installs.)
I've switched back to ubuntu, and instead of running 7.10 like I was before, I've moved to 8.04.
Problem is that my video card drivers seem damn near IMPOSSIBLE to install.

This is the quick info:
Card: GeForce 7950 GT
OS: Ubuntu 8.04 (Freshly installed an hour ago. NO updates done.)
Kernel Release: 2.6.24-16-generic

Yesterday I tried many methods of getting the card to work, unsuccessfully. Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

================================

I got it all working using the recommended hardware drivers and some editing of xorg.conf. biggrin
