["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sudo Bash, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12-rc2

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Ubuntu 10.04 blacklist Intel blocking Nvidia

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On Dell Dimension 2400's using Intel 845GV chipset, since the blacklist can no longer be bypassed, it is not possible to use an Nvidia PCI card fully because the Intel 845GV chipset is blacklisted. I have seen the same problem with 9.10 but was able to utilize the blacklist file to get around this problem, now in 10.04 without the ability to SKIP_CHECKS on the blacklist, there is no way to enable Compiz or any advanced appearance settings. I suspect that not only 845G / DELL Dimension 2400's are affected but possible other machines that have blacklisted PCI devices on the motherboard but are using upgraded PCI graphics cards.
