The idea was inspired by the instructions on:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
I followed exactly on the instruction says, but the error:
Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module
keeps poping up. And gnome can only start with the resolution of 640*480. After googling around a little bit, I found the following posts:

To sum up, here is what you need to do:
First, go to System-> Administration -> Hardware Drivers, and disable any active resticted drivers. Ironically, I felt like this step should have already been included in the official instructions posted on ubuntu wiki. However, apparently you need to do this by your own. Then, run
sudo cp -a /dev/nvidia* /etc/udev/devices/
It is funny that this step should have done by the nvidia installation script, well, judging from my m$ experiences. But NO! You still need to googling around and find the answer to it. Well, I am not sure if it is included in the nvidia README.txt, but I got no time to read through the 600 line instruction manual. To summarize, I do not think Ubuntu is for lazy people like me. It is still not a linux for human, as they claimed. It's sad.
