Just use the install restricted driver through Ubuntu, System->Administration->Hardware Drivers, if Ubuntu detected a Nvidia graphics card it will list NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version ###) , one should have recommended next to it, oh wait this is for 8.10, um 8.04 should be similiar, something like restricted drivers or something in the same place.
