Today a got a hint to try a beta of Ubuntu 10.4 from a live CD. I did
(without much hope, sorry, no offence meant to anybody) -- and to my
extreme amazement nearly everything that refused to work in 8.10, 9.04,
and 9.10 (display, sound, network) started to work like a charm. Even
the dual-monitor support (not yet working in 8.04, the only stable
edition presently working for me) is not bad; there are rectangles on
the screen I cannot reach with the mouse but maybe that will improve
over time.

It looks like the 10.04 developers did a remarkable job. When the first
stable 10.4 comes out I certainly am going to give it a try. Very good
piece of work, folks.

So I can summarize my experience with this bug as follows: On my (rather
new) notebook

- 10.04 beta runs from the live CD without major problems

- 9.10 starts from the live CD (judging by the sound played) but does
not display anything

- 9.04 starts, displays, and can be installed but has no support for my
network card

- 8.10: I did not try a live CD but upgraded twice from a working 8.04,
and the X server would not run

- 8.04:installed without major problems but plays no sound

which leaves 9.10 and 8.10 as possibly affected by the bug.

primary notebook screen remains blank in 9.10
