下载完驱动后，即开始安装，不过安装之前得有些准备工作要做的。必须得满足一些基本的要求：

f you wish to install the NVIDIA Linux graphics driver on a Debian GNU/Linux or Ubuntu system that ships with Xorg 7.x, please ensure that your system meets the following requirements:

* development tools like make and gcc are installed

* the linux-headers package matching the installed Linux kernel is installed

* the pkg-config and xserver-xorg-dev packages are installed

* the nvidia-glx package has been uninstalled with the --purge option and the files /etc/init.d/nvidia-glx and /etc/init.d/nvidia-kernel do not exist

If you use Ubuntu, please also ensure that the linux-restricted-modules or linux-restricted-modules-common packages have been uninstalled. Alternatively, you can edit the /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules or /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common configuration file and disable the NVIDIA linux-restricted kernel modules (nvidia, nvidia_legacy) via:

DISABLED_MODULES="nv nvidia_new"

Additionally, delete the following file if it exists:

/lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_new_installed

Please note: unfortunately, it has become difficult to keep track of the pre-/post-installation steps required for [K]Ubuntu, and the above instructions may be incomplete. If in doubt, it is recommended that you use your distributor's NVIDIA Linux graphics driver packages, exclusively.

很简单的英文，大概应该看得懂的。

准备工作完成后，Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace，回来控制台，进入驱动所在的目录

代码：

sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.07-pkg2.run

选择Accept，然后再选择No，Yes，就可以了。

装完后，别忘记了运行一下Nvidia-xconfig，再Startx，OK!

原来困扰我很久的VirtualBox与Compiz的问题解决了。高兴中！

不过还有点小问题，就XP中轻易不要点击运行桌面，否则，界面会很难看的。
