It was probably the mobprobe that I was missing.

I added that to the directions... my bad, thanks for letting me know

The only thing is when I do "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade" it says that a package was not completely installed (the kernel package) Should I just re-try to recompile from the older kernel?

*update*
Reinstalling ubuntu: compiling the rc5(has both the athros and the intel HD selected by default, but people should check anyways)

Have you tried:

apt-get -f install

I think they are probably selected for you from your rc4 config since you already compiled once. You shouldn't need to do menuconfig again unless you need to change something else, just make oldconfig and compile.... but make sure to edit the mlme.c again before compilation if you want that tweak for wifi

edit: of course after rebooting with the new kernel you'll have to reinstall the nvidia drivers again from your custom .run, don't need to entirely recompile the nvidia drivers with the patch unless the minor version of the kernel has changed (just an rc in this case)

actually I reformatted my / partition unless is stored it in my BIOS or SWAP partition I don't think it would keep them

Also new in RC5 is no more *running in low graphics mode* it boots straight to GUI keep you posted currently updating NVIDIA Driver


*EDIT*
I ran the update and the upgrade and I no longer get the error
RC5 IMO Is much better than RC4 for this laptop =)

Oh, you reinstalled from scratch? I guess it would depend if your /boot was separate or not. Did you use a newer build of Ubuntu?

You should automatically get into gdm anyway after installing the nvidia drivers, that's not new to rc5

No i meant b4 I got to the /etc/init.d/gdm stop part it allows me to go directly to the GUI where as b4 in rc4 it said runnin in low grphx

And what about HDMI and 720p video? Looks like that windows can't play it well. So what about Linux? The latest beta drivers 180.06 from nVidia has VDPAU API (Video Decode and Presentation API)! Did you try them?
