Install NVIDIA with PPA


This should be a better option since it should not cause any problem when upgrading the kernel.

https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa

If the xorg.conf is not configured maybe this need to be run "sudo nvidia-xconfig".

0) Remove manually installed driver
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-uninstall

1) Add source
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

3) Add key
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com CEC06767

4) Install 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic nvidia-glx-185
