    Nvidia drivers madness

    Hi guys,
    This is my last hope to get this done right. I would like to install Nvidia drivers on my Laptop. First I followed this post:
    Code:
    http://docs.kali.org/general-use/install-nvidia-drivers-on-kali-linux
    but it not worked for me. Then I tried some more... many more. Ive tried install Nvidia drivers both from repo and from install script from official site. Nothing worked, and every time I've got this very same outcome. After reboot I've just cannot get the login screen. I've blacklisted nouveau drivers, removed them (or I thought so) but still got them in log file as You will see in a while. There's info about my Laptop:

    ASUS X75VB (https://www.asus.com/pl/Notebooks/X75VB/)

    Code:

    Thanks for advice. I've tried :

    Code:
    apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-intel
    apt-get autoremove
    Then restart, but it make no difference. I will try reinstall nvidia drivers after work hours.

    Similar problem with nvidia drivers on my laptop with Geforce 8200G card. Nvidia driver should be 340.96 but it won't install on kernel 4.6. I am looking for a new video card for my desktop to replace the HD7950 which isn't supported by Kali. Looking at gtx 1070 or rx 480 but won't to be sure that the video drivers will work with kali and ubuntu 16.04 LTS
