hey,
I had the same problem with lucid.
I installed the driver, downloaded from nVidia's site.

To get more clear, this is what I did.

Download the driver from nVidia's site and do the following.

go to console mode. (Ctrl + Alt + F1)


sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
cd <DRIVER_DIRECTORY>
chmod +x <driver>
sudo ./<driver>
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start


And a reboot solved it. Hope it helped.
