Please follow these instructions for a correct installation of the
driver:

1) Make sure that the kernel headers for your kernel are installed
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
2) Install the nvidia driver:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current (or nvidia-173 or nvidia-96,
depending on your card)
3) Select the driver that you wish to use (you can install all of the
nvidia drivers but use only at the time):
sudo update-alternatives --config gl_conf
sudo ldconfig
sudo update-initramfs -u
4) Configure your xorg.conf
sudo nvidia-xconfig
5) Restart your computer (restarting only the xserver might not work)
