The list below is quoted from the README file included in Linux driver 1.0.7664 (which is the first version to drop legacy GPU support): "Below are the legacy GPUs that are no longer supported in the unified driver. These GPUs will continue to be maintained through the special legacy NVIDIA GPU driver releases. NVIDIA chip name Device PCI ID ------------------------------- ------------------------------- RIVA TNT 0x0020 RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro 0x0028 RIVA TNT2 Ultra 0x0029 Vanta/Vanta LT 0x002C RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro 0x002D Aladdin TNT2 0x00A0 GeForce 256 0x0100 GeForce DDR 0x0101 Quadro 0x0103 GeForce2 GTS/GeForce2 Pro 0x0150 GeForce2 Ti 0x0151 GeForce2 Ultra 0x0152 Quadro2 Pro 0x0153 " The new driver (1.0.7667) will simply ignore the above-listed GPUs. For this reason, nvidia-driver 1.0.7174 should be preserved for those GPU users. >How-To-Repeat: Find a machine with the listed GPU, install 1.0.7667 driver and try to start X >Fix: Either repo-copy nvidia-driver to nvidia-driver-legacy with appropriate version, or add options in nvidia-driver to choose a driver version. And corresponding sections should be added to UPDATING to bring users' attention. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
