how to install NVidia drivers ?

[Grenage]

I'm not quite following you.

Are you saying that in nvidia-settings, it lists the resolution you want, and you can click "Save to X configuration File", but it doesn't change the resolution?

i mean if i go to the nvidia-settings i can see that the settings are ok, but i didn't made "Save"... now i saved and create the xorg file.

It looks like it might be the right resolution now, but I find it hard to tell. Is it?

i don't understand what you mean...
the right resolution for me is the one you can see HERE, screenshot named "no_driver.png" ....

it seems that xrandr has some problem after installing nvidia drivers... it doesn't found LVDS...

It looks like the proprietary driver doesn't work with xrandr so well, although others may have input.

Can you post a copy of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and also the model/make of your netbook?

Try replacing that.

gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Remove what's there, and paste in:
