the nvidia part of the guide isnt all that correct. all they show is
backing up xorg and installing nvidia-settings and nvidia-glx. they
left out sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and changing the driver to
nv or nvidia (some cards work on one or the other i have found) Here is
a more thorough guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
As for the ATI guide im not real sure i gave up on ATI.
