Ok so i went to the Geforce website and downloaded the geforce 210 driver for 32bit linux. So when i try to run the .run file i get this

Code:

You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before            
         installing.  For further details, please see the section INSTALLING   
         THE NVIDIA DRIVER in the README available on the Linux driver         
         download page at www.nvidia.com.

What is this X server and how do i exit out of it?

It is possible to install the drivers d/led from nVidia, but its much easier to just use the hardware drivers tool-

system-> administration-> hardware drviers

Using the driver provided that way can save a lot of problems, eg, if you get a kernel upgrade.

In 99% of cases, its not worth the hassle to install the newest nVidia drivers manually.
