In this Tutorial I will tell you how to install the Latest stable version of NVIDIA Graphics driver 340.58 On Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 12.04 LTS and LinuxMint 15 / 14
This Version 340.58 released with a fix of bugs and support to new GPU's

- Fixed a bug that could cause VT-switching to fail following a suspend, resume, and driver reload sequence.
- Fixed a bug that caused incorrect colors to be displayed on X screens running at depth 8 on some GPUs.
- Fixed a bug that prevented GPUs from being correctly recognized in MetaMode strings when identified by UUID.
- Implemented support for disabling indirect GLX context creation using the -iglx option available on X.Org server release 1.16 and newer. Note that future X.Org server releases may make the -iglx option the default. To re-enable support for indirect GLX on such servers, use the +iglx option.
