Nvidia driver for toshiba p850

Question

I have tried over and over installing the latest drive for my 630m on Ubuntu 12.04 but all it succeeds in doing is changing my resolution and I have to remove it again, the laptop came with both a chipset graphics and the gpu but will only recognise the chipset any advise?

type in the Terminal:
lspci -nn | grep VGA and put the results — Suhaib, Aug 23 '12 at 01:29
Just tried but my resolution is so messed up can only see half the terminal — Fletcher, Aug 23 '12 at 01:34
Ok got my resolution fixed again the command you gave has given me a list of options — Fletcher, Aug 23 '12 at 01:44
UPDATE:LINK has been corrected also, check this Question which asks about the 630M : link — Suhaib, Aug 23 '12 at 02:15
