Coldflame,

Yeah, the default driver that linux uses sux for nvidia. You should get the driver from Nvidia site for linux. The readme file should pretty much explain about the installation.Its easy thou.... but i had looooots of problems after installing nvidia drivers . so I uninstalled and stayed with the default one. Its not that bad. I dont play games, just browse, lill'e bit of programming . Thats it.

Depends on what version of linux you are using. Speaking of what version of linux is it ?
