By first, you need to download the following packages with the following command

apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) gcc-4.4

Then download and give execution permissions to the NVIDIA binary driver — XServer must be down.

wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/275.28/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-275.28.run
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-275.28.run
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-275.28.run

Now just start the X server, enjoy!
