During Grub boot menu press 'e' and add this at the line starting with 'linux':
nouveau.blacklist.conf
after Booting switch to a TTY terminal, log on as root (sudo will do too) and:
service gdm stop
add this to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:
blacklist nouveau
and run driver installation (./some/path/devdriver_nvidia…..). If window decorations are missing:
sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24
or try changing to metacity using fusion-icon
fglrx drivers have to be installed. Use of Ubuntu's Restricted Drivers Management console is not necessary, but can lead to sucess too.
To list the supported powerstate:
DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --lsp
To enforce a powersaving state of the graphics chipset (X is the number of a supported state):
DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --set-powerstate X
