Just a little more information in case someone is frantically searching for solution options: One of the grad students found that the monitor (HP ZR24w) would work with the card (NVS300) as a client of an 11.04 server if he used VGA input and turned off auto-scaling using the monitor's OSD menu. The client chroot for that machine has some serious nvidia-related hacks in it, too. I'm not sure I could reproduce them if I had to. (BTW, I'm moving him to an 11.10 server soon.) An Ubuntu 11.10 server will work with the combination, but so far it needs nvidia-current to do it, and see earlier comments in this thread. I haven't yet gotten dual monitors to work in the latter situation (and haven't tried very hard) unless they were both using DVI input.
