Is there a list of supported out-of-the-box video cards?

Usually the Nvidia drivers work well, it seems that perhaps as the card you
own is a more recent variant, perhaps the supported driver isn't in feisty
YET!

However you may find it will be fine in Gutsy (the next release). I would
check launchpad to see what the bug progress is on your graphics card.

As for a compatible list, I'm sure you will find things on google.
