I don't know about the repositories, but I had the same problem and I solved it by following these simple steps:
1. Get the new NVIDIA driver, by typing in a terminal wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/275.09.04/NVIDIA- Linux-x86_64-275.09.04.run 2. Kill the X server: - Log out - press Ctrl+Alt+F1 - Log in to terminal user - type: sudo stop kdm (or gdm) 3. Install the new driver: - sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.09.04.run 4. Reboot - sudo reboot I hope it can help you.
