I am in a catch 22. In previous installation attempts with earlier versions of LMCE, I was able to apt-get install nvidia-glx-new and have my Nvidia card work. In this version, I get the following error when trying to install almost any programs.
"Package nvidia-glx-new is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package nvidia-glx-new has no installation candidate"
I can't continue with starting LMCE while the driver in "nv" , and I can't install the driver that works.
Any assistance would be deeply appreciated.

There are some instructions on how to install the drivers from nvidia directly: http://wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/Display_Drivers. I haven't tried them with RC1 yet as I managed to configure it properly with the AVWizzard this time around. So the instuctions might be a bit outdated, but it's better then nothing.

Zaerc,
Tnx, I had tried that method with another Nvidia download with no joy, but, it did successfully install, so, I cross checked the Upuntu Nvidia-glx-new driver for the version on the Nvidia site, and came up with NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run. This did the trick for my GeForce 7350 LE. Thanks for stimulatin the brain.
