[Assuming the downloaded file is on your desktop]
1. Close all open applications
2. Switch consoles, Ctrl+Alt+F1 (this will drop you to a full terminal), sign on with user credentials
3. Type these commands

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

Code: Select all

sudo sh /home/$USER/Desktop/NVIDIA*
$USER = Your username
NVIDIA* = hit Tab after NVIDIA to autocomplete the package name.
4. Go through the dialog, allow it to overwrite your xorg.conf
5. You should be back to the terminal prompt, type

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
GDM login screen will start, using the nvidia drivers for display.
