That's the same reported graphics from mine.  I never used the nv  
driver.  The first version of nvidia driver i used (that was back on  
Mythbuntu 8.10 I think) couldn't do HDMI, but otherwise worked.  As of  
the driver for 9.04, the HDMI output worked as well.

I couldn't see the screenshot (404 Not Found error), but I never had  
anything resembling that description.

If you still have issues, let me know and I'll send my xorg.conf, etc.
