Nvidia has released a driver with RandR support (version 302, just this week).

It looks like this would probably show up first in the X Updates ppa.

How long does it typically take for a new upstream release to land in the X Updates PPA?

The newest proprietary Nvidia drivers (including Nvidia 302.07) are available from ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa.

For details see: How do I install the Nvidia drivers?

The Xorg-edgers ppa now is for bleeding edge open source graphics drivers:

Note: The drivers obtained from there are bleeding edge. So they are not considered as stable and may lead to system instabilites, or in the worst case to a broken system that can't boot any more. Please take the time to read the notices for this ppa and how to remove it in case things break.

  • Nice! Thanks. Does this warning (still) apply to precise? Note: [ppa-purge] currently has issues in oneiric and later because ppa-purge does not work with multiarch. If so, I may wait for it to show up in X Updates instead of sampling the crack... it's got tons of packages in it. – bstpierre May 10 '12 at 15:20
  • @bstpierre: haven't tried myself but aptitude should now be able to handle multiarch better. If there are no more issues with ppa-purge I don't know. – Takkat May 10 '12 at 19:42
