The latest driver for GeForce on nVidia's site is 275.09.07.  Have you
tried it?  Sometimes the drivers in Ubuntu's repositories are a little
old, especially for the newest versions, and Natty has changed quite a
bit in the video department.  I'm playing with Natty in VirtualBox
running on Maverick and my video is OK.  I'm using 195.36.24 on a pair
of EVGA 9800 GT's in Natty and they work OK, but I think VirtualBox
intervenes.  I'm using the same driver in Lucid and Maverick on a few
different cards and have had good results.
