Comment 107 for bug 760632

I don't know about the repositories, but I had the same problem and I
solved it by following these simple steps:

1. Get the new NVIDIA driver, by typing in a terminal

wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/275.09.04/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.09.04.run

2. Kill the X server:

- Log out
- press Ctrl+Alt+F1
- Log in to terminal user
- type: sudo stop kdm (or gdm)

3. Install the new driver:

- sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.09.04.run

4. Reboot

- sudo reboot

I hope it can help you.
