[TIP/GUIDE] Make your nVidia GPU work (Reposted)

Finally got my Alienware X51 to work. It has the GTX 660 gpu.

Combine and try this boot flags and see which one works for you.

1. nomodeset

2. nouveau.modeset=0

3. nouveau.modeset=1

4. video=uvesafb

5. video=simplefb

6. i915.modeset=0

7. i915.modeset=1
