If you're using Gutsy why not just use the "restricted drivers manager"?
System - Admin - Restricted Drivers Manager

Subject: [Hampshire] Ubuntu Gutsy upgrade: problem with loading
Nvidiamodule automatically
I've just upgraded to Gutsy, with an old Nvidia GE force card. I have
managed to get X working with Nvidia's installer script (including the
proprietry driver). However, if I manually type
adam@home:~$ sudo insmod
/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-386/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
then I can start gdm as normal. But, when I restart the machine I have
to type this again.
I have nvidia in /etc/modules.
Any ideas how I can get gdm to start without the insmod each time?
TIA
Adam
