Nvidia Linux Display Driver is a proprietary OpenGL video driver that tries to bring support for the graphics cards produced by Nvidia on Linux-based operating systems. This version supports only the 32-bit architecture. For 64-bit support, see this link. Even if it provides a settings panel, the Nvidia Linux Display Driver is not an application. It is a hardware driver, which provides some instructions that tell an operating system how to use a piece of hardware.

What's new in Nvidia Linux Display Driver 32-bit 346.47:

Added support for the following GPUs:

• Quadro K620M
• Quadro K2200M
• GeForce GTX 965M
• Fixed a bug that could cause rendering corruption in GLX clients using PBOs and/or VBOs when using GLX indirect rendering.
• Fixed a bug that caused Xinerama layouts which included X screens with 'Option "UseDisplayDevice" "none"' to be represented incorrectly in the nvidia-settings control panel.
• Fixed a bug that could cause glXSwapBuffer() to block for longer than necessary in multi-threaded GLX applications using the GLX_NV_delay_before_swap extension.
• Fixed a bug that caused OpenGL applications using the NV_path_rendering extension to crash after a modeswitch event.
• Fixed a bug that caused DisplayPort audio to stop working after monitors are hotplugged.

Supports a wide range of Nvidia GPUs

In our tests, we’ve discovered that the Nvidia Linux Display Driver supports much more Nvidia graphics cards than the open source Nouveau driver. It plays well with most of the ION, ION LE, Quadro Plex, Quadro Sync, GRID, NVS, nForce Professional 3000, Quadro FX, Quadro Blade, as well as all the GeForce series.

All in all, if you have a PC or laptop equipped with an Nvidia GPU, and you have issues with the default Nouveau open source driver, you may want to install the Nvidia Linux Display Driver. It’s also the number one choice for gaming users.

Because the drivers are not available via any repository, we have to download the binary files from the official site:

For 32 bit systems:

$ wget us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/346.47/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-346.47.run

For 64 bit systems:

$ wget us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/346.47/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.47.run

Set execution permissions:

$ sudo chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-*-346.47.run

Kill the display manager, which can either be: kdm for KDE, gdm for Gnome, lightdm for LXDE and XFCE, mdm (for Linux Mint):

$ sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop

OR:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

OR:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop

OR:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/mdm stop

And finally, run the Nvidia binary file:

$ sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-*-346.47.run

You can install Nvidia Linux Display Driver 32-bit 346.47 32 bit and 64 bit via PPA Launchpad on Ubuntu derivative system, open a new Terminal window and bash (get it?) in the following commands:
