Feisty Fawn has a new automated noob-proof GUI-based (shouldnt have to touch the terminal at all) ATI/nvidia driver installer, perhaps you should try that?

Also read this and remember that everything in a unix-based operating system is treated as a file (so you can even listen to photos through your speakers for a laugh)

Ah, here we go, Ive been trying to remember what it was called:

What is Envy?:

"Envy" is an application for Ubuntu Linux written in Python and PyGTK which will:
1) detect the model of your graphic card (ATI and Nvidia cards are supported). However "Manual installation" is also available
2) download the right version of the proprietary driver for your ATI or Nvidia card from ATI or Nvidias websites
3) handle the dependencies (compilers, OpenGL, etc.) (according to your OS version and kernel) required to build the module
4) install/uninstall the driver
5) set up your xorg.conf (i.e. the configuration file of the Xserver) for you (according to your system specifications)
6) restart the Xserver for you (if you wish so) (this feature is available only in the textual interface)
