You might have already looks here, but just in case you haven't:

I'm also using Ubuntu, but I have an ATI card (ugh) and I'm using the
open-source radeon driver instead of ati's.

Hi Paul , Im trying out Xubuntu , pretty nice , I like the Synaptic
Package manager , but I have the same problem . Nvidia drivers are a
breeze to set up on ArchLinux , but with this one Im stuck with version
8776 . I tried installing the latest via nvidia -installer from NVIDIA's
site , and it works fine , but I have to rerun the installer every time
I reboot.
If I find the solution I'll let you know.
Cheers ,
Syd
