I changed a bit of the output and added some backports awareness in the 331.38-2 upload to experimental this morning, but it may take some time until these changes reach wheezy-backports. > Here's an example using the pciid of a GeForce GT 640, 10de:1282 > Uh oh.

No, 71xx legacy hardware won't be supported by any newer driver. > Here's an example using the pciid of a GeForce 6200 LE, 10de:0163 > $ nvidia-detect 10de:0163 > Checking driver support for PCI ID [10de:0163] > Your card is supported by the default drivers and version 173. > It is recommended to install the > nvidia-glx > package. > > With wheezy-backports enabled, I believe it should have returned 'nvidia- > legacy-304xx-driver' But the wheezy "default" drivers are fine enough so that you don't need the backported driver. Its more interesting for the hardware support added after 304xx: there you will need nvidia-driver/wheezy-backports. And 96xx is also unsupported in jessie.
