Bug Description
The nvidia driver is broken by some kernel API changes in 2.6.28:
* Some headers moved from include to arch/x86/include
* acpi_driver_
Attached is a patch extracted from the Mandriva SRPM:

The conftest changes in this patch looks like they will break compilation on older kernels, so the patch may need to be modified for the Ubuntu package.
Until a fixed nvidia package is released, you can apply the attached patch in the /usr/src/
