I have just installed Ubuntu 13.10 x64. After installing nvidia-319-updates and nvidia-settings-319-updates I don't have anything in additional drivers tab of software and updates. Additionally when I run nvidia-settings I get this:

You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run nvidia-xconfig as root), and restart the X server.

I don't have nvidia-xconfig

/var/log » sudo nvidia-xconfig
sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found

EDIT

after making some more mess with drivers I reinstalled system (I found this option faster than playing with drivers), but still additional drivers tab is empty. Installing 'nvidia-319-updates' causes black screen after log in (with removed xorg.conf, with not removed i have extremely low resolution and also black screen)

EDIT

black screen was caused bu this bug this bug. now it works, but 'nvidia-settings' are empty (but there is no information that I am not using nvidia drivers so I guess that they are ok) nvidia-settings

Also additional drivers tab is still empty: additional settings

Try installing:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

It should help.

Edit:

Try:

sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-319-updates
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-settings-319-updates
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-331

and reboot
