I got an Lenovo G560 though the trackpad succk ball. I found a way to get it work at least.

Awesome video, where did you get your background from anyways?

@lewiar sounds more like godzilla :P

If you have tried to manually install, or have installed other drivers without using the package system then the automatic installer may no-longer function, proprietary drivers are quite temperamental due to the restrictions placed on them by the vendors. I can say that any recent Ubuntu release will work out of the box with an 8600gt, infact I have an 8600gt in this laptop.
The simplest solution may be to backup your homedir and re-install (I'd wait for 10.04 now).

read my entire post. I said "find one THAT WILL INSTALL". I am quite aware nvidia has proprietary drivers but they will not install on my system. I tried more than one method of install including manually resetting x-windows.

In any recent Ubuntu, you go to hardware drivers, and it says "you have an Nvidia card, do you want to install the proprietary drivers"... there's no "finding" involved.

i've yet to find a driver for my nvidia 8600 gt that will actually install. I have had no issues with my ati cards.

I have test world of warcraft, Half-life 2 mod (insurgency ONLINE) And it works very well !
Just put the Video setting on low and it works GREAT !
But yes. A laptop is not cheap if something crash.
A lot of noise from the cooler. :|
