Want to install Nvidia drivers for Kubuntu

[JoeS]

I want to install the nvidia drivers for Kubuntu 9.04
I know I can run the drivers from Nvidia, but does Kubuntu have its own drivers.
Would appreciate advice and some instruction on what to do.

Thanks

Great Link reed9, thanks.

The only thing I could find was in:
applications > system > hardware drivers

It said:

No proprietary drivers in use on this system.

This is the card on my computer:
joe@Kubutu:~$ lspci | grep VGA

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV6 [Vanta/Vanta LT] (rev 15)

Is there something more I need to do?

Thanks.

I googled around and it looks like you need the nvidia-glx-71 package.

No idea why it isn't showing up in the restricted drivers manager, but you can install it with synaptic package manager. System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager
