The GeForce 6150 LE is not supported by the additional Nvidia drivers in 12.04. You need to install an older version of the drivers.

Please see the answer to this question for how to remove the current drivers and install the older ones.

Sorry, uninstall that, and just make do with the open source noveau driver instead. Consider upgrading to something with a newer graphics (yours is 8 years old), and this time, try to make sure it's isn't "nvidia inside" ;) – ish Jul 09 '12 at 02:51
