Confirmed the problem on Kubuntu Feisty, running a NVidia Geforce4 MX
on-board card. I started a clean install. I attempted to build the
latest driver for my card - NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9639, available on
NVidia's website. I uninstalled linux-restricted-modules* and nvidia-
kernel* packages per instructions (they were installed by default, I
guess).  I then attempted to install the driver. It completed
"successfully", however, when I tried to start X with "nvidia" instead
of "nv" I got lrm-video not found.

I managed to get rid of the message...but probably not the underlying
problem, by following some instructions posted in the comments at

"sh: /sbin/lrm-video: not found
FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia

To get around it I commented out the “install nvidia …” line in
/etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video:

# Make nvidia/nvidia_legacy and fglrx use /sbin/lrm-video to load
install fglrx /sbin/lrm-video fglrx $CMDLINE_OPTS
#install nvidia /sbin/lrm-video nvidia $CMDLINE_OPTS
install nvidia_legacy /sbin/lrm-video nvidia_legacy $CMDLINE_OPTS
install nvidia_new /sbin/lrm-video nvidia_new $CMDLINE_OPTS"
