    You go to www.nvidia.com and download the latest driver with a name
    like: NVIDia...run
    Type: ctrl-alt-F1
    In the terminal window login as root.
    Then run: init 3
    You will see some output lines but soon you can use the keyboard
    again.
    Then run: chmod u+x NVIDIA.....run
    Then run: ./NVIDIA,,,,,,run
    The ./ is important since . is not in the PATH of root generally.
    You will be asked some questions but eventually the drivers will be
    installed. Then you have to change the Driver line in
    /etc/X11/xorg.conf to read:
    Driver "nvidia"
    run: init 5

    and you should be set.
