I am using Ubuntu 10.04 x86 version. I have two video cards (one integrated and one Nvidia on inter core-i5 processor with 3GB ram). Right now my display resolution is very poor as I can't use the graphic card. I tried
sudo apt-get remove nvidia*
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
to install driver for Nvidia Geforce but failed.
$ lshw -c video

As shown in the output (width:64 bit), shall I install x64 version of Ubuntu to make drivers work? or what should i do to make them work ?
I am following this Ubuntu Forum post for installation. When I execute sudo gdm-stop
, I am not getting terminal or any screen. Even on CTRL+ALT+F2 I just get a blank screen with no prompt. What should I do?
