This is how I install nvidia drivers (note that you will need to install
everytime you upgrade your kernel, since I don't know if there is an
automated script)

go in tty1 (CTRL+ALT+F1)
logon
sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop (or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop)
cd directory_where_the_driver_is
chmod +x driver_name
sudo ./driver_name

sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm start (or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start)

have fun (I prefer to reboot the machine when I install a driver, but I'm 
pretty sure this is not needed)
