... but do not upgrade to Ubuntu 18.10, as its XServer comes with a new ABI version that nvidia-304 refuses to work with, and ignoring ABI incompatibility screws up the display (at least with my Geforce Go 7600). I guess this won't be possible to patch without NVidia themselves releasing a new version of the driver (which they won't).
So, alas, with the above patch, 18.04 finally seems to be the last version you will be able to run nvidia-304 with.
