Installing NVidia drivers

I did as adviced in http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu_da...r_.28NVIDIA.29 but now when I'm supposed to sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf I can't locate anything called "nv" or "nvidia" either. In the file it reads:

Code:

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Generic Video Card"
	Driver		"vesa"
	BusID		"PCI:0:5:0"
EndSection

#and..

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	Device		"Generic Video Card"
	Monitor		"B71D D-sub"

Seems like it doesn't understand I just downloaded and installed appropiate drivers, which seemed to go fine. So now what? I did as instructed in that help instead of downloading and installing generic linux drivers from nvidia.

Change the line Driver "vesa" to Driver "nvidia". You are not using the open source nv but the standard vesa driver.

Thanks! I was originally thinking about it but I was fearing that fixing it like that could do something bad if busid weren't modified as well.
