No good, I installed the nvidia-180-kernel-
source_185.18.14-0ubuntu1~xup~1~jaunty_amd64.deb,
nvidia-180-libvdpau_185.18.14-0ubuntu1~xup~1~jaunty_amd64.deb & nvidia-
glx-180_185.18.14-0ubuntu1~xup~1~jaunty_amd64.deb packages, did a reboot
and (user) glxinfo says:

dc@dc-master:~$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied).
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)

Also:

dc@dc-master:/dev$ ls -al nv*
crw-rw---- 1 root video 195,   0 2009-06-27 15:19 nvidia0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 255 2009-06-27 15:19 nvidiactl
