I'm following this answer to get my GTX 970 working, however before installing nvidia-343 I noticed that I couldn't find the package on xorgs site:
https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

I'd like to know what I'm doing rather than blindly follow solutions which may be out of date, can anyone shed some light onto this and educate me :)?

Thank you

    I asume you did read the description of the PPA and clearly understand is not mean for daily use? – xangua Jan 29 '15 at 02:48
  • Thanks for the response.

    I did read every warning (repeatedly since the launchpad page implies heavily the importance of understanding it).

    I have yet to get my video card working so I am indeed doing this just as an experiment.

  • It has been removed, but that still leaves 340 and 346. Check output from: sudo apt-cache search "NVIDIA binary driver" – david6 Jan 29 '15 at 06:36

    Thank you very much David, that helped me greatly to know my assessment was correct rather than blindly guessing. Sadly both of these resulted in booting to a blank screen but luckily I am doing this all in a separate ubuntu partition/install. You should put your response as an answer so I can accept it, it fully addresses my initial concern (and possibly will help others who follow my path) – Robot Rocker Jan 29 '15 at 23:37
