If you have an advanced Video Card - (and it happens to be Nvidia or ATI) you can sometimes have trouble installing the drivers. Even if you don't have any troubles the process can be a bit much; even worse after you get done getting your video card setup a Kernel patch may come up and kill all your hard work.
A fast and easy way to install your Video drivers (again if they happen to be an Nvidia or ATI chip set) is to use a program called Envy. This can help you with your initial installation, and any time you have to reinstall because of a Kernel update - as well as keep your video drivers up-to-date.
In a terminal - run:
sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk
Then Launch EnvyNG's GUI (inside a Desktop Environment such as GNOME,KDE, etc.) by selecting it in the "Applications/System Tools" menu.
