Hi there, I use a Geoforce 2 MX/MX400 based GPU on my outdated desktop
system, using the proprietary driver. No problems since Hardy.

A Geoforce 7000M on my laptop, also using the proprietary driver. Since
the final release of Intrepid.

IIRC today (Februar 17 2010) the third Alpha of Lucid will be released.
Will install it and see what happens.

With kind regards,
