I hope this can help:

And I hope it gets the latest drivers. I use ATI so don't know much about the exact nvidia commands. That shows the terminal installation.

Darkod --- you RULE! That fixed it. I am so appreciative of all the help. Great Job.

No problem, glad you got it going.

I know it's frustrating when things don't work out of the box but I strongly believe that we need to appreciate the effort developers put in open source even if sometimes they don't have full cooperation of manufacturers and the attention those same manufacturers would pay to MS.

Hi!, darkod,

Thanks for Posting the Link for the xswat updates Ubuntu nvidia driver.
http://www.noobslab.com/2011/09/nvid...0-oneiric.html

It successfully installed nvidia-current version " 295.49-0ubuntu1~precise~xup1".

As far as I can tell, with a GT 7650 card on 12.04 LTS, it works exactly the same as 295.49 downloaded from Nvidia downloads.

To add to the confusion: Additional Drivers now shows four versions of nvidia-current, though as it does not identify the version numbers at all clearly and which video cards each support is very vague; that is no help at all.

Chao, bogan.

Hi!, All.

There is a new nvidia driver version 295.53 available from nvidia downloads. This Link is for the 32 bit version, check you get the correct one.

Edit: Updated Thursday May 17th;

Code:
nvidia-installer --latest
now returns: v295.53 and the currently installed version, without altering anything.


Code:
nvidia-installer -f
will install 295.53 after un-installing the previous version.

NVNews says of version 295.53:
