Ok i downloaded the drivers for Nvidia and heres what it's trying to say
whenever  try to install it in terminal:

[sambie@localhost Desktop]$ chmod 755 NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run
[sambie@localhost Desktop]$ ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run
Verifying archive integrity... OK
Uncompressing NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86 1.0-
5336................................................................................................................................................................................
nvidia-installer: Error opening log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log'
for writing (Permission denied); disabling logging.

I am logged onto root, as it shows the keys on the right bottom of my
