and now for something completely different
The guru at techpatterns has a script specifically to help with graphics and mainly Debian but I believe it may work on Ubuntu based distros as well.
http://smxi.org/site/install.htm
He has his own support forum and naturally you can not expect support to be offered here once you move to it, or try it.
You may wish to read the dox before making a decision to try it
http://smxi.org/docs/sgfxi-manual.htm
http://smxi.org/site/faqs-sgfxi.htm
and in case you missed it here is the obvious question and answer
I personally have used this script when I was a sidux user with a nvidia card but I am now on intel so have not tested recently

Quote:What distros are supported by sgfxi?
Amazingly, sgfxi now supports apt based Debian Stable, Testing, and Sid, as well as current Ubuntu/Debian derived distros, rpm based Fedora, and finally, pacman based Arch Linux.
Please note that the download location for Arch is: /usr/bin instead of the standard /usr/local/bin because the second isn't in Arch default $PATH.
Not every feature works with every distro, but nvidia direct install works fine in all of them. Fglrx support varies month to month, year to year, distro to distro, but usually one of the methods, either direct binary install (default: sgfxi) or deb builder (sgfxi -F) works, though usually not both

Good Luck
