Hello everyone,
Can you give me an easy way to install drivers for this card *Nvidia
GeForce GT520M*?
I'm on a laptop. I've tried many things, including this command:
aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r` nvidia-kernel-dkms
nvidia-glxfrom an answer I got on StackOverflow. Everything I do
results in X failing to start. In fact I just re-installed X and now
it refuses to start at all.
So are there a set of commands I can use to simply install the driver?
My primary need is to raise the resolution of the monitor...
If binary it must be, you can try the nvidia installer [1], it also
includes a utility to update your X configuration accordingly. Only
drawback is that it will break (and you will have to re-install it) at
each kernel update.
Also you have to do the installation out of your graphical desktop
environment, e.g. by booting in 'rescue mode'.
