One shouldn't have to go looking for information on how to fix "issues"
with installing a video card driver ! Imagine if we had to do that for
every piece of hardware on a PC !
BTW: Here is a good post on this topic.

Because they use these stupid proprietary drivers and every time I
update my kernel I have to screw around building drivers for the nvidia
cards. Total waste of my time. Totally unnecessary !
I will never buy an NVIDIA card again for this reason. I'd replace the
one I have except its built into my laptop.
