This very bug is marked as "won't fix". I will try the driver pointed by
Ricardo, usually 32-bit drivers won't work on 64-bit os, I have seen it
elsewhere so the reason for the question. I now have both my standard
working machines in a bad state with production Lucid, the other one (a
spare "old" toshiba a10) does not display a bit, and was working on
Karmic. Please do understand that we, Ubuntu unconditionals  (came from
Fedora when they told us kde4 was the only issue, and it was unusable at
the time) feel stuck now, having their business computers stuck with an
LTS. If I could compile the old driver I would have made a shortcut on
the migration. I will try to do my best to help others. And to end, my
problem is that bugs are marked as won't fix, but no alternative advices
or questions are posed to get to know the relation of this bug with
other bugs and direct questions to proper listeners, so improving the
general quality of community support. This is said by a guy having for
long developed 32-bit assembler kernel modules for w*. Arrogance here is
seems to be the motto, we could improve a lot if curiosity and tolerance
could be employed.

Auf Wiedersehen, mein freund, Berlin ist ein schon stadt!
