I've had no issues just using the supplied driver since switching to
Precise. (I used to have to manually install a Nvidia driver.)

I've been using #145 but be aware that when the kernel changes you will need to
re-install your Nvidia driver. There is no clear message (on booting) when this
has happened but my system booted and stopped at a message:
Checking battery state ... [OK]
Re-install of the driver fixed the problem

Did you try the instructions I copied
I'll report my findings after upgrading Maverick Meerkat to Natty in
the past two days in case it helps.
