I'm trying to follow the directions given in:
Answered Question #49668, asked on 2008-10-31 by Steve: Problems with nVidia graphics card on Compaq Presario with 8.10.

When I run the suggested commands: sudo apt-get update
                                                              sudo apt-get upgrade
                                                              sudo apt-get install envy-gtk,
for the last one, I get:
randall@Randall:~$ sudo apt-get install envy-gtk

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

E: Couldn't find package envy-gtk

randall@Randall:~$
.
When I put “envy-gtk” in the synaptic search box, I don't see anything matching that name.
So how do I get envy-gtk?

The packet you are trying to install is not "envy-gtk", it is "envyng-gtk"
To install:
sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk

**Make sure that you got universe repositories enabled.

Hi :)

Note that envyng is a bit broken for Ati cards but should be superb for your nVidea card :)

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
