chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run
Follow the installer and let it compile the kernel module for you.
Once everything is done and you are back in command line mode then type these commands......REMEMBER you are still logged in as "root"
nvidia-xconfig
nvidia-xconfig --composite
nvidia-xconfig --render-accel
nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24M
Now you can restart the machine by pressing "Ctrl+Alt+Del".
Enjoy! If the next kernel update breaks your xorg then just recompile the nvidia driver.
