Title:
  ThinkPad W510 with Nvidia FX 880 GT216 video card: **No** drivers work
  with 3.2.x or 3.5.x kernels

Status in Linux Hotplug Scripts:
  Invalid
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Obviously an initialization bug on the kernel side, probably due to a
  quirky BIOS setup.

  Workaround is to use the old Linux 0.99 trick ... boot Windows and
  then soft boot Ubuntu, or downgrade all the way to 3.0.x kernel and
  Nvidia 10x driver.

  This chipset never had great support, but at least it worked in 2D
  before :)

  If you need this particular video card to test with, find me a cheap
  alternative that will fit my W510 and I'll mail it anywhere it the
  world where it is needed most (Nvidia, Canonical, Linus himself, etc.)
  for testing and development.

  Cheers
  Dave

  Oh and BTW your "select a package" doohickey is busted, so Xorg is
  getting first bite, please forward to kernel driver initialization
  gurus :) And yes I know what DDX is, or was :)
