Did you look under Administration->Hardwaredrivers ?

The card is a Nvidia® Geforce®7Series Shader model3.0 DirectX 9 graphics processor so you most probably need to install the propriatary NVIDIA driver

Install "Envyng-gtk" for Ubuntu or whichever "envyng..." is appropriate for you and then use it from

Applications - SystemTools

to uninstall and reinstall decent latet drivers for your card
Good luck and regards from
