that's strange then. Because for me after installing LinuxMint or either  
Ubuntu (right now) on my Notebook,
it went well in the first try. For me it works really fine. Then you  
should really think about changing your
graphiccard.

Mine is this one: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation  
C79 [GeForce 9200M G] (rev b1)

And this one works fine for me.

Then the next hint for you would be to install this ppa-repository here:

http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Grafikkarten/Nvidia/nvidia?highlight=ubuntu-x-swat

Perhaps this could solve your problem. It could be possible, that your  
card is too new to be properly
supported by the older versions of the nvidia-driver. This ppa-repository  
brings a newer one, which
should work fine for you. Or if you have already installed it, then purge  
this ppa-repository and run
these commands in your terminal

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Let these commands run through completely. Then afterwards, try to install  
the proprietary nvidia-
driver.

Tell me, if these hints help you with your problem.

Greetings
Linuxexperte


Perhaps if you change your graphiccard??
