I spent a week trying to resolve the error generated by X.org Server and Nvidia drivers, and I think I've finally solved.
This is the solution for my Nvidia GT540M & Intel i7-2670QM (ASUS X53SV-SX598V)
1. Download NVIDIA driver from here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html.
I use Linux x86_64/AMD64/EM64T (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-285.05.09.run) for my system at 64bit
2. Install system updates
Code:sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Code:sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Code:sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential
Code:vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Code:blacklist vga16fb blacklist nouveau blacklist rivafb blacklist nvidiafb blacklist rivatv
8. Make grub.cfg writable
Code:chmod +w /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Code:vi /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Code:text splash nouveau.modeset=0 vga=791
12. Disable writable mode to grub.cfg file
Code:chmod -w /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Code:update-grub
15. Login and don’t write startx
16. Remove all previous Nvidia drivers
Code:sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-*
Code:sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
Code:chmod a+x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-285.05.09.run
Code:sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-285.05.09.run
20. Reboot
If you have a problem like this:
Code:X.Org X Server 1.7.6 Release Date: 2010-03-17 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.24-28-server x86_64 Ubuntu [...] Fatal server error: no screens found
It means that the automatic writing of xorg.conf (nvidia-xconfig command) during installation is not successful., but the driver has been installed correctly.
To solve this problem just delete the xorg.conf file:
Code:rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Reebot and type
Code:startx
