Experience with Nvidia BLOB has also been good, except that in 11.4 I have not been able to get them to work (get blank screen).
FWIW, I have been running OS11.3 and 11.4 (and Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04) on a machine that features chipset-embedded NVidia graphics (GeForce 9300), and for use cases as described by Stan I have never had any issues running the proprietary NVidia driver. BR, Karl-Heinz
Try the 270.41.06 from nVidia's website. That's a "known" good version. I don't know what's current in the nvidia Repo but there are some "bad" drivers out there that can fry some older cards (8xxx and 9xxx) reportedly. Ah, found it: avoid 270.61 and 275.33.
