Sorry I posted my reply with the wrong subject.
I tried 2 different ways to install nvidia. sudo apt-get install nvidia-current (actually I may have done it with synaptic, but either way it was the the ubuntu way. Also I downloaded the nvidia installer with the most current version. That failed the 1st time do to an issue with nouveau installed. I removed everything with nouveau and it seemed to install correctly.
Both ways got the same error. Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device PCI:1:0:0

Seems like the links are working.
I am thinking of a EVGA 01G-P3-1302-LR GeForce 8400 GS or EVGA GeForce 9500 GT Video Card or any
other 8400 or 9500 card. $50 seems like an easy fix. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good card for hdmi out for a 42in plasma. I just want it to work.
Thanks
P.J.

How did you install the nvidia drivers?
"sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" ?

Does lspci show the card at 01:00.0, it may not be finding the card.
