  -------------------------------------

  I'm guessing that NVRM is the NVidia Register Mapper, though why it
  might have issues with one of NVidia's most popular cards is beyond
  me. I've tried a bunch of stuff and patiently waited for Lucid hoping
  it might clear up these errrors. However, even after a clean install
  of Lucid from the CD-ISO ( with format ), There errors persist.

  Please advise on how to correctly enable my graphics card.

  1) Release: 
  Description:	Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
  Release:	10.04
  Kernel: 2.6.32.-24-generic

  2) Package:
  nvidia-current  195.36.24-0ubuntu1-10.04

  3&4) I expected the driver to be activated when X starts. Instead, I
  get the above errors and dropped to low-res with the default-X
  drivers. The nvidia driver does show up in 'Hardware Drivers' and
  reports that it is active and currently in use. However, X fails to
  initialize the card and use it.
