I got a Nvidia 8600M gt it has always worked before hardy.
But with hardy everyone seems to have problems.

Can you enable the hardy-proposed and hardy-updates repositories, install EnvyNG so as to install the latest release of the driver?

I finally did get this working, 3D effects and all. After a clean re-install of Ubuntu 8.04. I had been upgrading from 6.04 => 8.04. Although I did always clean my drivers out before installing new one... I guess something might have been left behind.
