Answer 1

There has been a recent certified driver release, you may have to do a manual install: Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver, Version: 304.51 Certified

You may have to manually install, here is how I did it on an older legacy vid card, the code should be similar: Driver Installation

Answer 2

Try installing nvidia-current and see if that fixes it. nvidia-current is the current version of the drivers as of Lucid (there's a newer version in precise if you want to upgrade, but that'll possibly break other things).

Answer 3

The driver package in 10.04 is to old and does not support series 600 cards.

In this particular case the Ubuntu X-Swat PPA might be actually of help since it provides current driver packages for 10.04.
