Maybe I should add that, if I were you, I'd forget about Nvidia
drivers altogether. Nvidia offers no support for Linux and, since it's
not open source, you don't get much from the community either. Even if
the community wanted, without the source code, it would be minimal.

My advice: stay with Nouveau.
