I know this bug is now resolved and this might not be the right place
for this comment but it's related.

Is there going to be a more indepth warning to those using legacy
chipsets about the problems involved with upgrading to Intrepid?

GL things I took for granted were compiz and avant-window-navigator.
Also the nv driver seems to be very unfriendly towards switching users
in X which is something I do often but now I find it works once then
after that I need to reboot to get it to work.

I think users need to be warned that by upgrading there is a lot they
take for granted that will not work correctly. They may have to
reconfigure X, they may have to change how their desktop is setup (i'm
back to using gnome-panel). They might not be able to easily have
multiple desktop users.

I'm now having to decide between buying a new graphics card or moving
back to hardy.

This is clearly nvidia's problem but the first place users will come
when their new upgrade doesn't work properly will be here, forums and
irc.

Apologies if this has already been addressed, as far as I can tell there
is no way I can see what the current warning to users is.
