Install video card for CQ50 laptop

It's nvidia 8200M. And I finally got nvidia driver 180.22 working on it. It's not perfect but at least the definition is 1280*960. I actually tested 178.xx before, and found it also work.
The most important is to clean all the former nvidia files out of your system before you start to install new driver. It can be done by searching "nvidia" in the Synaptic Package Manager and get rid of them. The new nvidia package can not remove old version or related stuffs.

Or you can search "install nvidia linux" online.
