Is there an easy way to get to the 256 drivers (and stay there) with 
Mythbuntu 10.04?  nvidia-current tops out at 195.  For a while I used the 
x-swat ppa to get the newer drivers, but that pushes me to 260.  Any time 
I;ve ventured from allowing an install through a repository like Ubuntu or 
x-swat, it's been too much of an adventure.  The one time I did succeed, as 
soon as the kernel updated, I lost it.
