Install the NVIDIA GTX750 graphics card driver in Ubuntu 12.04
I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my computer. After I started it, I found that the system only has 1024*768 resolution. My computer's independent graphics card is Nvidia GTX 750, and the display supports 1920*1080. The method of adding resolution to the system for online searching is useless. Later, I downloaded the Linux driver from the NVIDIA official website and installed it myself. Finally, I got it done! 1920*1080 resolution is refreshing. The following is a record of the installation process.
1. First, view your graphics card model:
Lspci | grep VGA
