Mark,

You need both the release and testing repo defined.  I've added this to my
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/avenard.conf

deb http://www.avenard.org/files/ubuntu-repos lucid release
deb http://www.avenard.org/files/ubuntu-repos lucid testing

then do your sudo apt-get update
then do your sudo apt-get upgrade -V

You should see JYA's 0.23-fixes come in and replace mythbuntu (which I
assume your using?) packages.  Or use Synaptic Package Manager to view more
easily whats going on.

JYA repo also includes Nvidia drivers.  Install the 195.x using synaptic
(just search nvidia) and I think its the modaliases package you want.. There
some good instructions on JYA's site if you have a nose around about older
Nvidia drivers that still applies today..  www.avenard.org

Cheers,
Steve.
