**Updated, dont worry about 0start_avwizard, and I fixed some typos... sorry.
If someone would like to test the new detection...
If the machine with the new card is in your core, please ssh into your core (or go to the desktop and open a terminal) and type:
sudo su
then enter your password, and create these file below (nvidia_install.sh) somewhere, and copy and paste the commands I give below from the same directory as the file you created.
If this is an MD, ssh into the core (or from core desktop terminal), type:
sudo su (enter password)
ssh moonXX <=---------- where XX is your MD number
Now create these file below (nvidia_install.sh) somewhere, and copy and paste the commands I give below from the same directory as the file you created.
nvidia-install.sh

Now paste the following:
chmod +x nvidia_install.sh
mv /usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh /usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.bak
mv nvidia-install.sh /usr/pluto/bin
add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
apt-get update
/usr/pluto/bin/RebootWithAVWizard.sh
This will just make the new files executable, backup and move the relevant files around, add the swat ppa, and reboot. This reboot SHOULD install the correct driver and make LMCE happy, after that rebooting again, taking you into the AV Wizard.
Regardless of success or failure lease run and post:
lspci -nn | grep VGA
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version
Thanks to testers... this will hopefully help everyone. I am particularly curious about the following cards which have improved vdpau bluray/h264 support under a new revision.
GeForce 510
GeForce GT 520
GeForce GT 520MX
GeForce 410M
NVS 4200M
If you would note that you have one of these cards it would be particularly helpful.
lspci -nn | grep -vi "non-vga" | grep -i vga | sed 's/.*://;s/\].*//'
will produce one of the following to confirm it has the new rev.
1040, 1042, 1051, 1055, or 1056
Should you wish to undo these changes simply ssh to the machine in question and enter the following as root:
rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-x-swat-x-updates-lucid.list
mv /usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.bak /usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh
apt-get update
Do not hesitate to ask questions if you have problems. Thanks again.
