  NVIDIA has it own proprietary drivers. Go to their page (www.nvidia.com)
  follow the download link, drivers for unix/linux and follow the
  instructions there. You need to download a README file (read it!)
  and the driver proper, which is a script which self-installs.
  They've automatized the install process and it's pretty
  straightforward. The script takes care of everything, even
  compiles a driver for your specific architecture, if it can't
  find a pre-compiled one. You do have to modify /etc/X11/XF86Config
  (the X server configuration file) as per their instructions in
  the README file.
