I found a tutorial in here about installing this but dont know if I can now that its set to manually install? But then I've follwed about 50 other ones and cant do it! It didnt help that my desktop changed to GNOME and I have Ubunta 13.04 on it now. I installed Mint 15 with Mate and got to know how to move around and poof new desktop. Will get to that next. lol
Please advise. Thank you.

I have installed these drivers in the past and it is slightly awkward to do but straightforward. See this link for instructions. See all this link and this link. Ensure you read through and understand the instructions and all should be well.
