Here is a post by Iain (tinyvole)
This is the shortened “in a nutshell” version of my guide here.
So, here goes:
Backup your current configuration.
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.xonf.original
Install all build dependencies.
sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Remove all traces of the Ubuntu version of NViDIA on your system
sudo aptitude purge $(dpkg -l | grep nvidia | awk ‘{print $2}’)
Download the driver from the nvidia download site.
For 32bit systems using the 185 Driver:
wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/185.18.36/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.36-pkg0.run -O NVIDIA-Linux-185.18.pkg.run
For 64bit systems using the 185 Driver:
wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/185.18.36/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.36-pkg0.run -O NVIDIA-Linux-185.18.pkg.run
If you use a legacy card that is not supported by the 185 driver, you can download the right one accordingly here for 32bit or here for 64bit.
Install the installer into the /usr/src directory and create an easy link to it.
sudo install NVIDIA-Linux-185.18.pkg.run /usr/src
sudo ln -fs /usr/src/NVIDIA-Linux-185.18.pkg.run /usr/src/nvidia-driver
Save and close all work, then kill X.
sudo service gdm stop
Login to a VT, and run the installer.
sudo sh /usr/src/nvidia-driver
Once the installer finishes, restore the backed up xorg.conf
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.original /etc/X11/xorg.conf
And restore X.
sudo service gdm start
Congratulations, you now are running on your own manually compiled drivers.
One caveat with this that you must recompile every time there is a kernel update. For a guide on how to automate this procedure, see here.
To upgrade from your manually compiled the 185 drivers to the latest 190 beta, you would run through the current procedure.
Download
wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/190.32/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.32-pkg0.run -O NVIDIA-Linux-190.32.pkg.run
Install into the /usr/src directory, and override your existing symlink
sudo install NVIDIA-Linux-190.32.pkg.run /usr/src
sudo ln -fs /usr/src/NVIDIA-Linux-190.32.pkg.run /usr/src/nvidia-driver
Save and close all work, then kill X.
sudo service gdm stop
Uninstall NViDIA, to ensure a smooth transition.
sudo nvidia-uninstall
Run the installer as per previous method.
sudo sh /usr/src/nvidia-driver
And restore X.
sudo service gdm start
simple, eh?
