Got The New Nvidia Driver 180.22 and that fixed problem

I am running Ubuntu 8.10 I am having problems with web stuff (Youtube, Flash ads ect) which I think is due to Adobe's Flash Player 10 however I cant find Version 9 anywhere to see if thats the problem please help
Side Note: I tried youtube through windows firefox through wine and it didn't work great but I worked alot better

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8200M G

I have not had any problems with Adobe Flash Player 10, but if you want to try it you can to use Alien and convert this RPM into DEB, http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0/repo/non-oss/suse/i586/flash-player-9.0.124.0-10.1.i586.rpm, I don't know the condition of Ubuntu repos but you could try and install the version that shipped with Hardy http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/flashplugin-nonfree

I updated my NVIDIA driver to the one that came out on the 8th(180.22) and that fixed the problem. I guess it was a problem with the new kernel. Anyhow its working now an I'm just glad it wasn't my fault for once biggrin

I'm not to happy with the Nvidia drivers, I bought a new "toy" for school and it has a Nvidia GeForce 9200M and the nvidia drivers don't work with XEN where Intel's and ATI's do, and I have a werid screen corruption when I log in and out of my system.

From what I've read, it seems like video card virtualization support is still kinda iffy. A lot of virtualization servers don't even bother trying, heh.

I'm anxious to see if Intel's Larrabee will have any support for virtualization, seeing as the design is sort-of emphasizing the GPGPU concept.
