(Get the code!)
Hi, though nothing works for me at present, i have another problem with Nvidia. (I promise i will never ever buy nvidia card).
I have Asus A7N266-VM motherboard with Geforce2 Integrated GPU. During old time, mandrake, ubuntu 6.10 etc worked with charm until 8776 nvidia driver. Later on with division od nvidia driver into 3, 1XX, 9xx, and 71xx driver, Nvidia support page directs me to 9xxx driver but in fact this driver never worked for me or any other using the same chipset. All linux forum suggested to use 71xx only. Only 71xx worked with no problem.
check this....

But Ubuntu had Restricted Driver (and now Jockey) to install Nvidia driver, which obviously suggested me to install 9xxx version which never ever worked. I forcedly used 71xx driver. I could do everything with that but at many instance restricted driver manager overwrite 71xx. The situation does not seem to have changed in Intrepid. I think this is not Ubuntu's fault as Nvidia Driver support wrongly directs us to 96xxx driver or there is a bug in that driver. BTw 71xx at present is best driver for this chipset and jockey must suggest this driver only for this chipset.
Now for Intrepid, I tried 96.43.09 driver from Nvidia site and tried again from intrepid proposed. The result was same as all earlier version of Ubuntu from 7.10, 8.04. Later i tried 71xx from Nvidia site and from intrepid-proposed. Again the result were same. Xorg did not start with just blank screen. I am back with NV now.
