Need help installing NVIDIA driver
Just did a new install of Ubuntu 12.10 on my Serp6. I followed the instructions at http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Restoring_Your_System
My video card is a NVIDIA G92[GeForce GTX 258M]
Unfortunately, I am seeing the following error message:
You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run 'nvidia-xconfig' as root], and restart the X server.
What steps should I follow to install the correct driver and get it to work?

I had the same problem installing NVIDIA drivers on 12.10, you probably need to install the headers for your kernel.
Just type the following into terminal:
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Then just re-install NVIDIA drivers (I'm assuming you're using 310 experimental)
Code:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-experimental-310
Just reboot after that and you should be good to go!

Wow, your response was quick and very helpful.
NVIDIA driver is now installed.
Thank you very much.
