Installing accelerated nvidia drivers on Ubuntu

The wiki page describing how to install the accelerated nvidia drivers on the Ubuntu Linux wiki was very poorly written and basically just completly wrong. I spent a little bit of time cleaning it up, please let me know if you have any comments.

Obviously this whole process is much much more complicated than it should be. The solution is to have a graphical tool to configure the X server. Someone has submited a specification suggesting this but the description page is totally empty.

    The Ubuntu nvidia drivers I got via the software update tool yesterday are broken - for the time being I’m having to resort back to the old nv driver against 2.6.12-10-ubuntu kernel. Just waiting on a fix for the accelerated drivers upstream

    So does this mean you can test my GtkGL# libs now? :)
