After I download the driver file what would I need to do to install these drivers and stop using the nouveau drivers. I previously have only used the 'Additional Drivers' section of the 'software and updates' program in Ubuntu to switch between drivers. Also could you give me the instructions to switch back to the nouveau driver if the latest nvidia driver doesn't work.
Thanks. On 1 December 2014 at 00:03, Christopher M.
