So I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32bit on a Dell XPS L502X with Nvidia GT540m. I'm having serious trouble with getting the drivers to work. Every solution i came across on the net didn't really work with my problem. Currently i have nvidia-current installed from ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates.

Thanks ,

My laptop is the Acer Timeline Ultra M5-481TG. It has an Nvidia Geforce GT 640M LE gpu. I am running Ubuntu Studio 12.10.

I have tried to install this driver many ways because Nouveau eats my battery and I believe is somewhat out of date. I have even tried using sudo stop lightdm in another console.

Hello guys.

Hopefully someone knows a bit about the nvidia drivers. I am trying to install the drivers on a Lenovo Y580 that has a GTX 660M, running 12.04 64 bit.

I removed all packages associated with NVIDIA from Synaptic Package Manager and installed nvidia-current. When I click NVIDIA-Settings, gives an error like this:

You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.

Please help me, I need your helps.
