When i run the "nvidia-settings" i get promted with this error: "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." ... Ive got onboard gfx working now via the Recovery Mode! but i still can't install nvidia gfx driver, so im stuck with gfx bug, slow loading/bootup, and bad screen destop resolutions.
