I'm just recently used Ubuntu 11.10 for a change. I've install it on a Dual-boot with Windows 7 - but eventually going to remove Windows. I'm using a Asus K42Jc having an NVidia GeForce 310M chip. After installing ubuntu and following some steps on how to install nvidia on my laptop using the codes below, I can't still get my NVidia driver display on the System Info as the Graphics Driver.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

I wanted to have this setting for me to install Blender, Warcraft III, etc. How can I resolve the matter?

Thanks in advance.

If you want to change some settings on Nvidia cards type following in terminal ( What is the terminal? )

sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings

This will install an app for making some changes to Nvidia settings. You can find it in unity by typing nvidia setting

Disable optimus technolgy from bios. Bumblebee still is experimental but you can try it.
