I can't get nVidia drivers working on my new iMac. It has the GeForce GTX 680MX card and I believe it's currently using the nouveau drivers. Whenever I install the nVidia drivers (I've tried downloading the proprietary ones from their site, installing nvidia-current, and nvidia-current-updates), it boots to a black screen. I can still get to tty by CTR+ALT+F1, but no desktop. I also don't have Unity 3D working at the moment either... I've looked through all the forum posts I could find but none worked and all seemed to be slightly different than my predicament. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
