The kernel team has just announced a 2.6.35 backport for 10.04. Please note:
While the primary incentive for the
backport effort has been server
enablement, the desktop flavours will
work but your mileage may vary. I've
successfully used -generic- on both
nVidia and Intel graphics GPUs in 2D
mode. That being said, any bug reports
against the desktop flavours will be
marked 'Wont Fix'. There is simply too
much skew between Maverick DRM and
Lucid X server drivers.
