Differing Nvidia driver instructions

Hello,

There seems to be differences between the system documentation (thats
installed in the system) and the BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia wiki page
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia?highlight=%28nvidia%29
in what they tell user to do to install Nvidia drivers.

The system documentation tells to install either nvidia-glx-legacy or
nvidia-glx, depending on your card, and then doing "sudo
nvidia-glx-config enable" in the terminal.

The wiki page tells, in addition to installing nvidia-glx-legacy or
nvidia-glx, to install the version of linux-restricted-modules thats
approriate for your kernel. Instead of "nvidia-glx-config enable" the
wiki page tells you to do "nvidia-xconfig".

I wonder if either of the docs is right and the other one wrong, or do
you get the same result regardless wich one you follow?

Thanks,

Ari
