Since this is a production machine and it's meant to run LTS distros, I can do it in two cases:
1) There is a Live CD with the version you want me to try or there is a procedure to start a Live CD, set up drivers for testing and then revert back to my clean 8.04
2) There is a .deb with latest drivers i an install with Synaptic over my 8.04 and eventually uninstall if they causes troubles.
I'm not confident enough with building drivers from scratch and installing them.
Please let me know if I can help, and point me to the corresponding documentation/procedures....
