Fresh install of Ubuntu and my video card is not working, here is how I fixed it.
Installing Geforce MX 4000 PCI Drivers on Ubuntu Breezy Badger from command line as root:

1. /etc/apt/sources.list a uncomment all commented sources
2. Run -> apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings
3. Run -> cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.default
4. Run -> nvidia-glx-config enable
5. Run -> vi /usr/share/applications/NVIDIA-Settings.desktop
6. Add to NVIDIA-Settings.desktop:
   

   [Desktop Entry]
   Name=NVIDIA Settings
   Comment=NVIDIA Settings
   Exec=nvidia-settings
   Icon=
   Terminal=false
   Type=Application
   Categories=Application;System;

7. Cross your fingers and restart
