Hello,

I am reinstalling Ubuntu and wanted to know what additional software I
should
install to activate NVidia card. I have installed restricted Drivers from
System->Adminstractor->HardwareDrivers->Nvidia177.

In the sypaptic manager, there are nvidia_glx  are also present, do I need
to install
them too ?
