Step 1: Install New NVidia Driver
Stop X:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
Install stuff:
sudo apt-get install pkg-config xserver-xorg-dev build-essential sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx nvidia-settings nvidia-kernel-common wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.07/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run
Run the nvidia driver installer:
sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.04-pkg1.run
Follow the instructions and get it to configure X for you. Finally, a tweak:
sudo vi /etc/modeprobe.d/lrm-video
Comment out the line:
install nvidia /sbin/lrm-video nvidia $CMDLINE_OPTS"
Cross fingers and start X:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
Fix The Fan Bug
Get nvclock from CVS:
mkdir nvclock-cvs && cd nvclock-cvs cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@nvclock.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nvclock login # no password, just press enter cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@nvclock.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nvclock co -P nvclock
Get dependencies, compile and install:
sudo apt-get build-dep nvclock cd nvclock sh autogen.sh ./configure make sudo make install
