    Might want to check NVidia's website for Linux drivers. Just a word of caution. 8.1 is pretty buggy. The current version (9.0, I think) is much better.

    You can download it for free or order a CD. The ISO's a full 700 meg download.

    okay..... how do i install new video drivers?

    from what ive seen it seems very complicated, but i just downloaded a .run file from the nvidia website.
