I had this posted in the "hardware" section but one of the replies stated I should post my question in the "Ubuntu" section.
Look at this screenshot:

Do you see all those Nvidia drivers? I've tried each one and the result, upon rebooting, was a blank black screen. Every time.
WTF is happening?
The only exception is that last one: using xorg x server (it is already installed)
I downloaded and installed from both Synaptic and the "Additional Drivers" function. The screenshot I posted is from the "Additional Drivers" function.
All I want to do is get my gpu recognized so I can use it in a distributed computing project. This is my 2nd computer and I intend to dedicate it just to that purpose.
Why won't those drivers work and what must I do to make them work?
My "box" consists of:
- 64 bit Kubuntu 14.04
- AMD A6-7400k
- Nvidia GTS 250 (g92 chip)
- 4 gb ddr3 system ram
