New drivers for NVidia now work on G210M (and probably on other mobile chips)
Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised - Ubuntu updated the drivers for NVidia from Launchpad to version 190.53 and they started up with minimal leveling of xorg.conf!
Prior to this, on a laptop (Acer Aspire 5739G with Nvidia G210M) on none of the distributions (tried Ubuntu KK, Fedora 11-12, Mint, Mandriva 2010) the drivers did not start at all - when loading the screen was black and after a couple of minutes, blinking CapsLock ' ohm, the laptop was overloaded. Maybe the pens are crooked, maybe I don’t know how to use Google, but I think that there should not be such problems for a desktop OS.
After updating the drivers, the “6-screen problem” appeared in all its glory, when a happy user is immediately shown 6 desktops in low resolution. Well, this problem can be easily solved by adding the line xorg.conf to the “Device” section of the file
