ubuntu 8.10上安装nvidia显卡驱动详细步骤

1.手工备份xorg.conf,以便nvidia驱动安装失败后恢复xorg.conf
如果nvidia驱动安装失败,ctrl+alt+F1进入console然后恢复该xorg.conf文件即可.
root@gliethttp:/etc/X11# cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.raw
2.安装nvidia驱动所需模块
luther@gliethttp:~$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-common
luther@gliethttp:~$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-common
luther@gliethttp:~$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig
luther@gliethttp:~$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-180-modaliases
luther@gliethttp:~$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180
3.执行配置命令
root@gliethttp:~# modprobe nvidia   // 没有任何提示表示成功probe到nvidia module
root@gliethttp:~# nvidia-xconfig    // 将会出现如下log

Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".

VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
                  Device section "Configured Video Device" must have a Driver
                  line.

Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'
New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
4.重启
root@gliethttp:~# reboot            // 上面的log是正常的,重启即可.
5.开机过程中会看到nvidia Beta的图标显示,说明我们的nvidia驱动正常:)
