>Description:
	
The latest nvidia-driver 1.0.7667 has dropped support for numerious "legacy"
GPUs. 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 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.
