Moin Hartmut, I was messing around with lucid's amd64 betas and some bleeding-edge ppas (not on productive partition ;) ) and suddenly Nvidia proprietary drivers stopped working. So I had to remove these ppas, downgrade all xorg stuff to lucid standards, remove jockey and all nvidia stuff besides nv, and installed last driver from Nvidia's site manually as described in many howtos. Now ubuntu's kernels 2.6.31-10-rt and 2.6.31-12-realtime again cooperate with Nvidia 172.14.25 and my old fx5200. I love this legacy card due to it's noiseless passive cooling. But it may depend on your card and driver. Did you give nvnews and their linux section a look?
