... 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).
