Yup that's it all in one line
that line of code which you simply cut and past into a terminal of your Ubuntu Linux will "correctly" install your video driver missing out all of the heartache and head scratching usually required to load a new version of a video driver onto your distribution.
There are a few preliminaries you need to attend to before running that script and they are (note these steps down because once you've pressed CTRL-ALT-F1 they've gone)
to stop your x server
Press: CTRL-ALT-F1
Your pretty gui will disappear but don't panic
Type: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
once it's stopped (it will tell you)
Type: cd /usr/local/bin && wget -O sgfxi smxi.org/sgfxi && chmod +x sgfxi && sgfxi
on one line (obviously you need to be connected to the internet)
once its done (it does tell you)
your desktop session will be restarted in all it's glory :)
should that fail you can always revert
To restart x server
Type: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
Press: CTRL-ALT-F7
To save config file
Clear ? Good .... Enjoy
