The Repower America Wall is a campaign to raise awareness about Repower America and its efforts to solve the climate crisis. Through a combination of video, image and commentary, the American public now has a platform where it can speak its mind about climate matters.

The campaign launched in November 2009 with tandem efforts online and on television. The television ad campaign was driven by images from the repoweramerica.org/wall.

In the weeks prior to launch, thousands of videos, photos and comments had been gathered by field teams in all states. The video footage and images were then uploaded by volunteers using the Admin Panel developed by SignalFive.

If you are looking to install the latest NVIDIA driver on your Acer Aspire 5739G running Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, you will need to do the following:

1. Download the driver

2. Reboot your machine into recovery mode and run

$ sudo sh DRIVER-PACKAGE-NAME.run

3. Reboot, again and run

$ sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

add the line:

Option         “ModeValidation” “NoTotalSizeCheck”

to the “Screen” section

Here is what the Screen section of my xorg.conf now looks like:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "ModeValidation" "NoTotalSizeCheck"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

You should now be able to take full advantage of your graphics card, run Compiz, set up TwinView, etc.
