Couldn't install nvidia driver for the life of me... I tried every combination of envy, than automatix2 and finaly various howtos... in the end I went with the driver from http://www.nvidia.com.

Said I needed legacy drivers... than I went with their legacy drivers, and it was the first time I managed to get into X with nvidia driver.... of course... glx didn't work... naturally. Than I proceeded to do an envy manual install of legacy driver and NOW it finally worked... all the while I had some sort of kernel error with compilation
this is the only way that I finally got the damn geforce 2 mx 400 to work... it took me approx. 7 hours2.
printer... canon... gwah! After testing and trying and surfing, I finally found a .. !!! Ubuntu - CHECH howto for the installation of pixma ip1500 that I needed... I don't speak chech, but I was so desparate that I found a way to understand it and it finally worked.
