In general, proprietary drivers should come with installation instructions. You get the NVidia driver from either NVidia, or Ubuntu, there should be some documentation on how to get it installed. > And also how can i find linux certified laptop. i mean a laptop that > has all its driver in linux source tree. i have seen ubuntu certified > laptops that again use nvidia chipsets. There's the open-source nouveau driver for nvidia. Run that and install Mesa, and you're pretty much all open. Performance? Depends what you're doing.
