Chris Halse Rogers in post #95 I'm willing to get masochistic and test the kernel 2.6.32-20.29~nouveauquirk. As I understand there is already n newer kernel https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/linux/2.6.32-20.30

1) Does this mean this also has this fix? and no need to thest the above OR
2) For short, if I understand correctly, I need to:
    - Add your PPA via: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/nouveau
    - Install the kernel via e.g. Synaptic (I'm on 64Bit hope it is there also)
    - disable my blacklist.conf line I've added "Blacklist nouveau"
    - Un-install my NVidea 1.9x restricted driver
    - Reboot and choose the correct new kernel in the grep menu
    - cross my fingers and hope it boot up without any additional boot parameters
    - Report my finding here...

 Correct?
