It took forever for 2 of us to figure this out,
This tutorial is intended to help those with less than the supported cards (6 Series) and should be easily applicable to others.
The Problem: The ubuntu repositiories don't host the proper driver for earlier nVidia cards.
The Solution: Venture over to nvidia.com and download the driver for your own project.
Then
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential
cd to the directory where your nvidia driver that you just downloaded is and run
Code:
sudo sh *run
Finally, modify your xorg.conf
Our setup used composite out look here for more information.
