Using the ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates ppa I was able to try out the 290.10
driver.  Fedora users have reported success with this driver:

However, I cannot even start X with this driver.   Arch users have also
reported this problem with 290.10.  Looking at the Xorg.0.log file I
see:

[    15.583] (--) NVIDIA(0): Connected display device(s) on GeForce Go 7400 at PCI:1:0:0
[    15.583] (--) NVIDIA(0):     none
[    15.583] (EE) NVIDIA(0): No display devices found for this X screen.

[    16.020] 
Fatal server error:
[    16.020] no screens found


Which means that with this driver, the adapter cannot detect me internal laptop display.  Its been reported already here:

Hope this information helps us get closer to solution.  As most people
here already know, this bug not only keeps Unity 3D from being used but
also the new Gnome3 shell as well.  Until this gets fixed our only
Desktop solution is Unity 2D.
