Hello everyone!
I have a question, in windows I had a Nividia control panel, but it seems that I can't find it in Linux? I have linux mint 13, and a nvidia geforce gt540m.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Nvidia driver
Hi GiteZz and welcome to Mint,
In order to get the Nvidia control panel you have to install the Nvidia Driver for your card.
You don't say which version of Mint you are using is it mint 13 or 14? if it's 13 there is a tool call additional drivers that will do it for you.
let us know which version of mint your using.

Re: Nvidia driver
What you want is a package called nvidia-settings to be installed. This you can do by opening a terminal and copy/paste or typing the following coomand:
Code: Select all
sudo -apt-get install nvidia-settings

If you open the "Additonal Drivers" program, you should see a list of drivers, for example -
If you do have one enabled there should be a green light to indicate that it is activated and in use.
