Ever since 10.04 I have been trying to resolve an issue with my graphics card - nVidia GeForce 210.

I'm having issues when I watch movies on 10.10 - they are jumping all the time, even with Compiz disabled and when that is the only thing I am doing.

I have tried the solution to How to get NVidia GeForce GT 210 drivers working on Lucid Lynx? but it didn't work.

How can I fix this?

Here are the steps I took:

  1. apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
  2. edit /etc/default/grub to add the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nouveau.modeset=0"
  3. sudo update-grub
  4. Reboot
  5. Download official Linux drivers from nVidia site.
  6. sh filename-of-downloaded-driver-package

Did you check to see if there are drivers available in the Proprietary Drivers thing? In 10.04, its located at System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers. There might be drivers there for your system that were packaged already.
