    I've been having troubles with my nvidia driver, found this on a different website:

    after you install the nvidia-glx package you have to run:

    #nvidia-glx-config enable

    Not to sure how i would RUN that?? Can anyone give me direction on how to do that??

    Could you supply the link where you found these instructions? Details regarding your problem would be helpful; are you trying to install a package? If you are, what kind of package is it? etc. I'll check later for your response.

    This is the link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76277

    someone told me to install nvidia-glx package, so i did. But it still won't give me the resolution that i should be able to get.. My screen size is 14' so i think my max res is 1280 800 or whatever. Right now i can only get 1024 768.

    See the other thread where you posted this exact post. We discourage double posts here, as you'll get better answers on more topics if you stick to just one thread.
