In an earlier e-mail, you seemed hesitant to go with a non-Dell driver; 
is there any reason why?  I'm on Debian and not Ubuntu, but I skipped 
the decision on whether or not to use a non-Dell driver and went 
directly to finding out how to do it.  But that could be because Debian 
is against closed-source distributions, so most web sites I visited 
suggested going this path.  As Ubuntu is based on Debian, if the Dell 
drivers aren't satisfactory, then go for the Nividia ones if a better 
solution is not offered...

[Alternatively, you can post on the nvidia web site if you still have 
problems after having installed the latest nvidia drivers.]

Good luck!
