I am unable to use nvidia drivers for my GPU, an Nvida Geforce 650TI since I updated to 13.04. I was using the nouveau drivers, but it became unstable, crashing at least once per day and I need to make the nvidia drivers to work.

When I try logging in, X just crash and prompt me back to the login screen.

in my Xorg.0.log I get :

    [    46.837] (II) "glx" will be loaded. This was enabled by default and also specified in the config file.
    [    46.837] (II) LoadModule: "glx"

I tried installing at least 5 different version of the nvidia driver (current, 304, 310,313,319 and 325)

I did recreate my xorg.conf via nvidia-xconfig

Any help would be very appreciated.

It seems my libglx.so is dating from a few months. When I remove it, I can log in, but Unity is not loading. Any methods to update libglx.so for my nvidia drivers?? Are they located somewhere else?

Thanks

    Well my brother has the same video card and I have followed the guide http://askubuntu.com/questions/61396/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers/61433#61433 and the video card is working correctly. Followed the guide for 12.10 and for 13.04 32/64 Bit. Also know that the 600 Series is better with the 319 and 325 drivers (Using the PPA). – Luis Alvarado Jul 12 '13 at 19:54

Probably the best thing to do is install the Bumblebee. Generally it solves all the nvidia drivers issues in a "smooth way".
