I always forget how to upgrade my Nvidia graphics driver, so here it is :
To stop gdm from virtual console (after going to virtual console by giving Ctrl + Alt + F1
sudo service gdm stop
To start after installing nvidia drivers:
sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-*
To start it is as simple as stopping
sudo service gdm start
And I used these commands for this little beast:
Zotac ZONE (Fanless) GeForce GT430 1 GB 128-Bit DDR3 (700/1800MHz) PCI-Express Video Card - ZT-40601-20L
