To enable support for nVidia graphics cards, first install the driver '''nvidia-glx''' using [https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/SynapticHowto Synaptic], then type '''nvidia-glx-config enable''' at a root terminal to enable it.
 * Applications -> System Tools -> Root Terminal

The '''nvidia-settings''' package provides a control panel to configure graphics card options such as gamma correction.

If you are going to compile 3d applications, you will want to install the `nvidia-glx-dev` package

'''Note''': If you wish to use these drivers and run the XMMS music player, you should be aware of [https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1724 this bug]. You can get around this bug by installing libmik.

'''Note''': Be sure to have the right version of linux-restricted-modules installed. It must match the version of the running kernel.

For other drivers, refer to the BinaryDriverHowto
