Maybe Ubuntu IT'S working but using another card output. For me, my nVidia GeForce 7300 has 2 output, a VGA and a DVI. It seems like the default output when you install the drivers is to DVI but I don't have a DVI monitor so I managed to get to Recovery Mode (available in GRUB when you boot) and type this:

This command directs the same graphics to both outputs. From there on, you can keep experimenting with this nVidia utility until you get what you want. For more information type:

Does that thread on Ubuntu Forums help you?
In short, it seems that the linux-header packages for some of the kernels (notably the PAE kernels) are not properly installed, and the nvidia driver compilation fails silently when installing the nvidia packages.
Regarding the topic title: What is the current restricted nvidia driver version used in Ubuntu natty?
You can find anything about releases, versions, bugs, requested features on Launchpad. To understand what it is about you can take their tour.
The question about the latest version of the nVidia driver can be found on “nvidia-current” binary package in Ubuntu Natty i386. So as of 2011-04-20 the latest version is 270.41.06-0ubuntu1. But that is not necessarily the recommended one. The latest one for me always seems buggy (like 'tearing' etc).
RinzwindRinzwindInstead of using nvidia-current you should really try to use an older nvidia driver e.g. the 173.xx. This solved the problem for me. Just start jockey-gtk and chose the 173.xx driver. Than reboot your system.

The biggest trouble I had was getting a Macbook Pro to install the Nvidia drivers!!!
The solution is to change the Master Boot Partition to REMOVE EFI and go with Legacy MBP.
This is discussed on a few webpages but is not so easy to follow.
Using this idea, I booted from a Live CD and then using Gparted removed the EFI boot partition, changed it from EFI to FAT32 and then using Boot-Repair rebuilt it as a legacy boot using the main Partition with 13.04 64 bit installed
---WARNING BACK UP YOUR DATA FIRST. YOU COULD SCREW UP EVERYTHING ON YOUR HDD ---
Insert Live CD - Boot up as try UbuntuRun Gparted - Change EFI boot partition from EFI to FAT32.
open a new Terminal, then type:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update
Press Enter.
Then type:
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (boot-repair &)
In boot repair select ADVANCED OPTIONS
Uncheck Use the Standard EFI File under main optionsUncheck Separate /boot/efi partition under GRUB LOCATION
follow prompts on how to use the legacy Boot loader that Boot Repair will give you.
Now install and load the NVidia drivers as many post
I used the method 2 on this page http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-ringtail-nvidia.html
I was working on this for probably 18 hours and tried EVERY option available. I mean every possibly way to install these friggin drivers, and this was the only solution that works for the Macbook Pro 7.1 Running 13.04 with Nvidia_current (nvidia_304)
I've tried everything here and the solution for me was to switch to lightdm, works perfectly now!
