My card is a XFX nvidia 6200. Can someone help?
Hi and welcome, You say that there is not a driver located under system, administration, hardware drivers?
If not then you can use synaptic manager and search for nvidia-glx-new.
You may also use Envy.
And last you may use the terminal located under applications, accessories. Use this command
Code:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
You can also use the xfix option if you boot into recovery mode which is usually the second choice from the grub.
Edit I almost forgot you will need the nvidia-settings also to help set up the dual monitors with the command
Code:
gksu nvidia-settings
