=====================================================
有的同学说了，系统装上以后显示非常正常，分辨率也足够高。而且查看系统配置的时候发现显卡已经正确识别了。那为啥还要再安装一遍显卡驱动乜？因为：
1. 你有没有注意到系统屏幕保护启动以后所显现出的惨不忍睹的3D加速性能。相信我，配置完以后你会发现那些粗糙的、转动缓慢的3D物体其实相当的漂亮。简直太漂亮了。
2. 为玩游戏做准备。
=====================================================
首先找到了Wiki上面的这两篇指南：
http://wiki.ubuntu.org.cn/安装NVIDIA?high ... 8nvidia%29
http://wiki.ubuntu.org.cn/NVIDIA显卡安装配置指 ... 8nvidia%29
按照第一篇进行设置。经过几次失败以后按照第二篇设置，虽然步骤不完全一致但是成功了。这里把实际的操作过程写出来，因为wiki上面的比我的实际操作步骤要多。而且结果也不太一样。下面仅仅是我自己安装过程的一个记录，不是标准流程。高人们看看，为啥和标准步骤不一样？
Wiki上面就是在图形化界面下面配置的，这里也按照上面的步骤来说。
首先wiki上说先要“允许 restricted 软件包”但是我看了半天也没有找到，所以这步骤没有做。我用的源是“快速设置指南”里面那个台％湾某大学的源。
我安装一个不知道有没有用的东西，
点击［系统］——>［系统管理］——>［新立得软件包管理器］ (这个名字谁起的？)
系统要求输入密码，完成后在界面里点击“搜索”在里面输入“linux-restricted-modules”
找到一堆东西，在里面找到“nvidia-kernel-source”点击右键“标记以便安装”然后点击应用。装完以后按照系统要求重新启动。这个步骤wiki里面没有，我之所以装它是要确认我的“restricted 软件包”已经被允许了。所以究竟有用没用我也不知道。
再次打开“新立得软件包管理器”搜索“nvidia-glx”点击右键“标记以便安装”然后点击应用。
注意！！我好几次失败就在这里：千万不要安装nvidia-settings 和 nvidia-xconfig这两个包。因为网上有的大虾们要求安装他们。实际情况是“ 在 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS中 不要 安装其他软件包因为其会删除 nvidia-glx 软件包。”我开始没有看到这句，所以做了几次都不成功。
然后点屏幕上方的［应用程序］”菜单,然后选择［附件］——> ［终端］，在终端里面运行这个命令：
$sudo nvidia-xconfig
这个命令实际上做了两件事情：
1. 备份 /etc/X11/xorg.conf ，系统在同一个文件夹下创建xorg.conf.backup文件。如果设置不成功导致无法进入Xwindow，可以用这个文件恢复回来。
2. 重新写一个xorg.conf。最主要的变化在下面这里

到此配置完毕，按照wiki中的说法重新启动x后会看到一个Nvidia的画面。这个画面在我用Mandriva的时候见过，但是在配置完毕的Ubuntu中的确是没见着。所以wiki中“删除 nVidia 标志”这一步也就没有必要了。
重新启动x后，运行一个屏保。比如国际象棋那个，能清楚的看到棋盘上的倒影。棋盘转动流畅，棋子滑动和吃子的动画流畅。爽！！
如果有人愿意可以尝试在命令行模式下安装：
代码： 全选
$sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source
$sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
$sudo nvidia-xconfig
下面附上我的 /etc/X11/xorg.conf 内容
