The 'nomodeset' option was the first thing I tried, no luck.
I have since tried with an i810 and a nVidia 440, both of which work
with the 'nomdeset' option.  The cards that don’t work, so far,  are:-

Matrox G200
Intel 1740
nVidia RIVA 128
ATI Rage Pro
SiS 740
Cirrix V641

All of which work under 10.04.  This is going to be a bit of a problem,
as these are all common video adapters in older machines.
