warcry glad it work for you it is a pain but least we've got round it.
Given we've changed the NVidia closed source drivers I'm not sure it's
really something ubuntu can fix, aside from providing older drivers by
default.

I can't find a definitive answer on the NVidia site about whether the
260.xx drivers are compatible with the 8300gs, they offer the 253.xx
drivers when you go through the 'download drivers' link on the site but
the 'archived and beta' ones list the 260.xx as available, very
confusing, though the 260 on the NVidia site is 260.19.12 and the one in
the repo's is 260.19.06.

Not tried the 260.19.12 ones so don't know if they work ok, from the
changes listed against those drivers: 'Added support for configuring the
dithering depth used when driving a flat panel with a GeForce 8 family'
implies it *should* work with the 8300.
