OK, i fixed my problem, others may consider using the same fix go here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=745508&page=5 and look at the post by biasedopiniondrummer. thats what worked for me
YES!!! Success! ok, this is what i did to get it to work. ran this command Code: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new && sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver- xorg (originally posted here by jlacroix Then I used envyng to install the new nvidia drivers and it was a success!!! I used the GUI but you could use the command line by typing Code: envyng -t in the terminal or as root in recovery and choosing the install nvidia choice. I'll post this multiple places, hopefully it will help someone!
