[conspire] installing nvidia driver on ubuntu 13.10

[Les Usenet]

When I updated ubuntu from 13.04 to 13.10 it installed the open source
driver and it does not work as well as NVidia's
For my x86_64 laptop with its NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M TurboCache, Nvidia
recommends  version 319.60

Can I just do an
sudo apt-get install nvidia-319
Is the package smart enough to remove the existing driver and install the
nvida one successfully?
