Comment 290 for bug 99508

I was able to install it from the repositories (Intrepid updates).

The "180" version is part of the package name so you need to explicitly
specify it.

This is what I did. I did this from a text console just to avoid any
possible interactions with the nvidia driver (hit CTRL-ALT-F1 to get to a
text window). Probably not necessary but can't hurt...

1. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
2. sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 nvidia-180-modaliases

The 2nd command will install the new driver and also uninstall the old 177
driver. I'm not sure if "nvidia-180-modaliases" is really necessary (it
doesn't automatically install if you leave it out) but the 177 version is
there so I figured I'd add that in too.
