This page says the newest driver (-9755) will run your chip:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html

So, in Adept Manager, select packages

linux-restricted-modules-{your Feisty kernel here}

and

nvidia-glx-new

and NO OTHER NVIDIA- PACKAGES, and mark them for installation, and after restarting your xserver you should be good to go.

The simplest way is to press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Backspace], if I remember well. There should, however, also be an option somewhere in the login-screen.

Yep, or (when logged out) you can just press Ctrl+E.
