I have all the same problems as described by Nicolae Istratii but with an nvidia Geforce 6800. I've tried to remove and reinstall linux-headers-2.6.27-8-generic as suggested by Alberto Milone. BTW, thanks Alberto for EnvyNG.. that's what enabled me to get my display working in the first place. I knew I shouldn't have tried to upgrade to 8.10!!
