On Dell Dimension 2400's using Intel 845GV chipset, since the blacklist can no longer be bypassed, it is not possible to use an Nvidia PCI card fully because the Intel 845GV chipset is blacklisted. I have seen the same problem with 9.10 but was able to utilize the blacklist file to get around this problem, now in 10.04 without the ability to SKIP_CHECKS on the blacklist, there is no way to enable Compiz or any advanced appearance settings. I suspect that not only 845G / DELL Dimension 2400's are affected but possible other machines that have blacklisted PCI devices on the motherboard but are using upgraded PCI graphics cards.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it without more information.
Please run the following command which will attach necessary information:
apport-collect 580768
Bear in mind that when prompted to give apport-collect permissions for Launchpad you will need to give it at least the ability to "Change Non-Private" data as it will be adding information to your bug report.
If you cannot use apport please at least add the following information (pay attention to lspci's additional options):
First run the following commands:
1) uname -a > uname-a.log
2) dmesg > dmesg.log
3) sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log
4) cat /proc/version_
then attach the files separately to the bug report (not pasted into comments or tar/zip-ed).
