I had no problems. At least, not with my graphics card. The installation 
script informed me that there were restricted drivers for my Nvidia 
card, and I could enable them. Check under:

System-->Administration-->Restricted Drivers Manager

It should be there.

Alternatively, I've seen drivers in the repositories, both for old and 
new Nvidia cards. They might work, but don't take my word for it.
