What can I do to get the kernel to recognize the graphics card? --- **EDIT** As per terdon's answer, if I run the command, I get the below message: dthacker@madeye:~$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-xconfig nvidia-settings Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package nvidia-kernel-dkms is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'nvidia-kernel-dkms' has no installation candidate E: Unable to locate package nvidia-xconfig` @terdon, I used this utility from the article you pointed me towards: root@madeye:~# ubuntu-drivers devices | grep recommended driver : nvidia-331 - distro non-free recommended I then installed nvidia-331 and the restricted drivers utility shows that it is being used. The nvidia GUI utility still has no options visible for configuring multiple monitors (there are currently two connected to the card) and I am still getting errors in the kern.log saying the Nvidia init module failed. Still working towards a solution... Output of apt-get install nvidia-driver: root@madeye:~# apt-get install nvidia-driver Reading package lists...
