I'm newbie in linux and I want to install my graphics driver using this Tutorial but I can't. (contents of nvidia-installer.log file below)
i did some researching and I found out that I need to recompile the linux kernel and disable rivafb (i have no idea what rivafb is) during compilation, but I don't know how to do that and i didn't found any Tutorial for this.

-> Installing NVIDIA driver version 367.57.
-> An alternate method of installing the NVIDIA driver was detected. (This is usually a package provided by your distributor.) A driver installed via that method may integrate better with your system than a driver installed by nvidia-installer.
Please review the message provided by the maintainer of this alternate installation method and decide how to proceed:
The NVIDIA driver provided by Ubuntu can be installed by launching the "Software & Updates" application, and by selecting the NVIDIA driver from the "Additional Drivers" tab.
(Answer: Continue installation)
-> Would you like to register the kernel module sources with DKMS? This will allow DKMS to automatically build a new module, if you install a different kernel later. (Answer: No)

ERROR: Your kernel was configured to include rivafb support!
The rivafb driver conflicts with the NVIDIA driver, please
reconfigure your kernel and *disable* rivafb support, then
try installing the NVIDIA kernel module again.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
