I've just got back after a week away and haven't read this thread in detail; but I think that this card needs an nVidia 'legacy' driver, 304.xx<br>

ISTR that I did run this driver in ubuntu with a different card that I have now replaced by a nvidia GT 710, which cost about 30 GBP. It didn't do VDPAU, there were problems (perhaps now resolved, with drivers for Fedora/CentOS etc) and I understood that nVidia support was likely to disappear soon. I haven't looked for nvidia for ubuntu recently. but this looks appropriate.<br>
