How can I install my Nvidia GT735m drivers. My laptop has optimus technology with a HD4000 as powersaving gpu besides the nvidia card. But I can´t get my gt735m to work. Everytime I try to install it I get a black screen after a reboot (which is unfixable, and if I manage to get the desktop interface back I can only run a 640x800 res.)

So... does anyone has a idea how to install this nvidia driver?

(ps. is it possible to disable my HD4000 and only run the nvidia card for everything including the desktop?)

can you give more information about what you have tried (to fix the black screen in particular) did you already try the suggestions in this question?

I don't have a optimus video card but I believe bumblebee is a project that is working on optimus support.

in general how you install drivers that are not standard included in ubuntu is this: go to system settings, go to 'software & Updates' open the 'Additional Drivers' tab let it search for proprietary drivers and have a look whether you can activate a driver.
