you realized the the OP has a stone-old nvidia card
which needs the legacy driver - did you?

the only reason why it MAY be supported currently
by Ubuntu is that they ahve way much older kernels

the older kernels are a much bader situation
i remeber last year as i became my new workstation
F14 which was still supported at this time did not
support the on-borad intel network card and the
X-Server freezed the whole day with the SandyBrdige
graphics - so yes we need recent kernels to support
recent hardware and if people do not buy crap needing
closed surce drivers they would too have no problems
