kubuntu don't detect my nvidia card

[Guest]

hi

i installed kubuntu 8.0.4 64 bits on a hp z600 machine.
this pc have nvidia quattro FX 380

in the install/remove software, i installed: nvidia binary X.org Driver and nvidia Xserver setting

i rebooted the machine and the nvidia driver don't seem to be running.
i started nvidia-settings and i get:

You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.
Please edit your X configuration file (just run 'nvidia-xonfig' as root). and restart the x server.

i runed this command (console mode, init 1, after init 3) without success

xorg.conf

I'm not sure why you chose a two-year old version of Kubuntu to install. :P

However, check here for the right driver version for the quadro FX 380:
