Nouveau is available for nvidia cards by default when you install Ubuntu.
I can give you some tips to switch back to this driver, but please don't forget
I can NOT garantee it will work fine for your video card.
So the steps are :
1- Make a backup of /etc/X11/xorg.conf
2- Be sure you'll have access to internet, it might be necessary to download
back the Nvidia proprietary driver. And the risk, if no driver can be loaded,
is you'll have to do it from a bash console with no wireless network.
3- Uninstall all installed packages dealing with nvidia :
3.1: get the list : "dpkg -l | grep nvidia"
3.2: remove a package :"sudo apt-get remove nvidia-xxxxx --purge"
3.3: repeat the remove command until your list gets empty.
4- Before reboot, delete /etc/X11/xorg
5- Reboot, Xorg server will make for you the settings for your video card.
If something's going wrong, reinstall nvidia package and restore
xorg.conf
