Unable to install Nvidia driver on 9500M + Ubuntu

[Mothra13]

Thank You so much, this looks great! it worked just like it was supposed too.

So I just recently got back my G1S to find out it had been "upgraded" to "G1Sn" which now has this ram issue with the 9500m GS. I am decently computer savvy and have been using Ubuntu for the past few months now... I don't to do anything that is going to hurt my current install... If I am reading everything in this thread correctly I can simply run the following lines of code:

cd ..

And then run the .debs it creates and it will recompile my Kernal to work with the 3+ gigs of ram?... I currently have the most up to date Ubuntu 8.10 64bit

Ok so this is obviously a dated guide but it has been the only thing I can find anywhere online (and I have been looking alot... I even spent close to 2 hours on live support with Asus) that might even help me get my full 4 gigs of ram working. Anyways I just tried changing the get commands to the latest kernel and it was working fine till I entered:

jeff@jeff-ubuntu:~/Kernal$ sudo apt-get build-dep linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.27.9-generic
[sudo] password for jeff: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to find a source package for linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.27.9-generic

Anyone here have any ideas what these sources might be renamed to as of the latest Ubuntu 8.10? Also has anyone sucessfully done this patch on Ubuntu 8.10/.04 and have their 3+ gigs of ram working?

So, at the moment, what have i to do to patch the kernel?
This link http://backports.ubuntuforums.com/sh...8&postcount=37 is broken
The Jeff91 lines of code are right?

[Graziello]

If i have kernel 2.6.27 the patch NVRM_512M_fix.diff is correct or i have to modify it?

User Fabian reported on Asus message board that memory remapping has been implemented on Ubuntu 9.10, so from on we should be able to use more than 2GB without problems like these.

I haven't tested Ubuntu 9.10 yet, since it's still a beta version and I think I'll wait for the final release.
