These are pretty easy to do use higher the numbers for more then one cards.
First open your favorite "Terminal Window"
1. To install Xorg type these into the Terminal Window - hit enter after each one.
(If you have already added these skip to #2)
Always run this first:
sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install xauthsudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-coresudo apt-get install xserver-xorgsudo apt-get install xorgsudo apt-get install xorg openboxAlways run this first and last:
sudo apt-get update2. Enabling coolbits so you can change your fan speeds, over or underclock your nvidia card/s.
Type these in the terminal window - hit enter after each.
Always run this first:
sudo apt-get updateCreates an xorg.config file:
sudo nvidia-xconfigUnlocks the fan & clock settings on one video card:
sudo nvidia-xconfig --cool-bits=4If you have two, three, four video cards:
sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28Always run this first and last:
sudo apt-get updateOther numbers that also work - for one card 8 - for multiple cards 30, 31.
You shouldn't need to edit your xorg.config file. If it's not working and you need to edit the file edit it in gedit in a terminal window. Make sure you run it and edit it as "Root" "gksu"
Type this in the terminal window:
gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.confI would save it as xorg.conf.original, then edit xorg.conf to be safe.
