I'm using GeForce 9650m GT, that's mobile, not desktop.
Ah ok no problem. What version are you using on Ubuntu, 32bit or 64bit??

Here's the driver for 32bit http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_d...32_180.44.html

here's for 64bit http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_d...64_180.44.html

It's a .run file so I am not sure if that what is supposed to run directly

Did you actually install it and let Ubuntu update it's repository. AFter a while, it finally detect non-free propriety driver . That's what I did on my desktop and it works. Let's hold hope that Linux Mobile graphic driver would be available for it.
