[mythtvnz] Nvidia 256 series drivers from JYA busted

[Jonathan Hoskin]

I have attempted to install the NVIDIA 256 series drivers from the JYA repo
on a Lucid 64bit frontend.

I am aware of this mailing list thread, and have done what it says to do:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/441476

I have purged out everything with "nvidia" in the name. I'm getting this
error during install:

I'm a bit nervous about uninstalling libg11-mesa-dev - it seems a bit daft
seeing as everything works fine with the 195 series driver.

Is anyone else using the 256 series driver?
