Envy,Installs for your Ubuntu-nvidia and Ati drivers automatically!

[praka123]

What is Envy?:

"Envy" is an application for Ubuntu Linux written in Python and PyGTK which will:
1) detect the model of your graphic card (ATI and Nvidia cards are supported). However "Manual installation" is also available
2) download the right version of the proprietary driver for your ATI or Nvidia card from ATI or Nvidia's websites
3) handle the dependencies (compilers, OpenGL, etc.) (according to your OS version and kernel) required to build the module
4) install/uninstall the driver
5) set up your xorg.conf (i.e. the configuration file of the Xserver) for you (according to your system specifications)
6) restart the Xserver for you (if you wish so) (this feature is available only in the textual interface)

^^ No the purposes are different,while envy installs the propreitory drivers for your ATi or Nvidia based GFX cards by detecting the model of ur card,the correct driver will be downloaded from respective manufacturers site and installed;saving a lot for Newbies confused with installing drivers.
Automatix does what is it install those restricted formats of multimedia etc.
