Ubuntu update.
I spent at least 100 hours working on this problem.
Here's the last sos I sent out:
==
GF8400,Ubuntu
I was unable to get GF7100 enabled for desktop effects so I bought a GF8400 GS thinking the 7100 wasn't supported. Still stuck without desktop effects.I tried envng, the 177 and 173 drivers with Ubuntu and tried to install the x86.180.29 driver from the NVIDIA website (get error message when trying to compile kernel from NVIDIA) it fails. Have searched forums and sent a bug report to NVIDIA but have not heard back, just sent them another email. Any help please.

After joining the irc channel #ubuntu found someone willing to help (solve) this and has been working on a permanent fix for this on the next kernel update.

I feel famous. Excited and relieved.
