you'll neeed to show the output of dmesg so we can see what it says about the NVIDIA module. Also, did you disable the nvidia restricted module within /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common file? put nv within the quotes and it will load the nvidia-glx-new driver, that's how I got my GeForce 6200 128mb to work anyway. And yes, I am using the 16 kernel as well as compiz. Also, you are aware that you may need to uninstall it and reinstall it after the kernel update correct? First make a copy of your xorg.conf file and then I used these commands: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx* nvidia-kernel-* sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-new sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf (NOTE: this is just putting a copy of the xorg.conf file that you made prior to uninstalling nvidia back in it's place, use the name of whatever you chose when you backed it up) ctrl-alt-backspace then you should now be using the new driver. If you can't get into X-server at all, then after X fails, just login to the command line and perform the steps above and hten do this sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start If that doesn't work, well again need to see the dmesg output.
