Package: nvidia-legacy-check
Severity: serious
Dear Maintainer,
Attempting to do `apt full-upgrade` fails with a message with banner
"Configuring nvidia-legacy-check" and this body:
| This system has a graphics card which is no longer handled by the NVIDIA
driver (package nvidia-driver). You │
│ may wish to keep the package installed - for instance to drive some other
card - but the card with the │
│ following chipset won't be usable:
│
│
│
│ 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G98 [GeForce
8400 GS Rev. 2] [10de:06e4] (rev │
│ a1); 06:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GT200b
[GeForce GTX 285] [10de:05e3] (rev │
│ a1)
│
│
│
│ The above card requires either the non-free legacy NVIDIA driver (package
nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver) or the │
│ free Nouveau driver (package xserver-xorg-video-nouveau).
│
│
│
│ Use the update-glx command to switch between different installed drivers.
│
│
│
│ Before the Nouveau driver can be used you must remove NVIDIA configuration
from xorg.conf (and xorg.conf.d/). │
│
│
│ Install NVIDIA driver despite unsupported graphics card?
I am already using `nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver` for the two graphics cards
on this system and `nvidia-driver` is not installed.
console messages after clicking "no" are:
*** The following unsupported devices are present in the machine:
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G98 [GeForce
