Thanks for the heads up, glad that after upgrade, the default nv driver picked is working for Toshiba Tecra M2 with above chip. Running glxgear with the default driver gives: $ /usr/X/demo/glxgears 1050 frames in 5.3 seconds = 199.835 FPS 1040 frames in 5.2 seconds = 199.914 FPS 1040 frames in 5.2 seconds = 199.829 FPS 960 frames in 5.2 seconds = 185.586 FPS X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). With 173.14.12 driver download, glxgear is of course much berrter, $ /usr/X/demo/glxgears 10819 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2163.690 FPS 10928 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2185.500 FPS 9924 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1984.567 FPS 5866 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1173.130 FPS X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). Also with the benefit of 'NVidia X Server Settings' Tool, I know I would appreciate that we can bring back the NVidia driver support on those legacy hardware. Maybe with a different package name or support them in the new driver. Any ideas?
