I vagualy remember that the automatic driver wizard in 10.10 did not
automatically detect an old Geforce 4000 graphics card. I think there is a
reference to some issuse with older nvidea cards and drivers in the Maverick
release notes:

Check it out under the "Graphics and Display" section of the "Known Issues"
heading on the release notes (about half way down the page):
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMeerkat/ReleaseNotes

It also has a link to a related bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626974

Not sure if all of the above is related but worth checking out i guess. Also
not sure if this is related to Kubuntu, or only Ubuntu.

Cheers

Josh
