I'd like to nominate this as a serious issue; this is effectively 'bricking' a good deal of computers (mostly laptops) and I've encountered 5 people (and that's just today!) who have the same card. As the unit is soldered straight to the motherboard it makes replacement is a damn sight tricky... -

>From the upstream bug it looks like this *should* work for GeForce 8200 and 8300 cards, both in 10.04 and in Maverick. That said, laptop hardware is often weird; so while I expect that most 8200 cards work, it's entirely possible that we don't support some quirk of your laptop's 8200. If you're

10.10 does not work, as a thick black line can be seen under the Ubuntu loading screen during bootup. However, if I go to the old menu at boot- up I can launch the Live environment, with the consequence of it becoming non-functional as soon as I start any application. Visual corruption can be seen

Bah! According to those logs everything appears to be working fine. They do indicate that you've got an external monitor plugged in to what the card believes is an HDMI port, though. Do you have an external monitor plugged in? If so, could you try booting without it plugged in? If not, this cou

Right; I did indeed have an external monitor; a TV (Sharp), but unplugging it has not changed the problems encountered with 10.04. I've tried alpha 3 and daily live of 10.10, but there seems to be an error (Unknown keyword in configuration file) which appears to be a known problem; apparently it

Right. After the few months I've been chased by this bug, the KDE forums were of great help to finding a solution; Edit boot options and add "xforcevesa" to it. This will start Ubuntu in low graphics mode, which is carried across to the installation. The new driver is a bit of lost cause here,
