I got a GeForce 7300 GT AGP, and installed the latest 9746 driver from
atrpms, but in "NVIDIA X Server Settings" (nvidia-settings), when I am
trying to select "OpenGL/GLX Information" option on the left, X Server
gets killed and restarted. Also when I am trying to run Google Earth,
the same happens. Currently I am planning to fall back to 8776 driver,
but I wonder if anyone has come across to this problem.
What hardware is this? 9746 officially dropped some models, but still
mostly works on them, "GeForce4 and older GPUs are supported through
the 1.0-96xx and 1.0-71xx NVIDIA legacy graphics drivers."
This is a brand new card, Albatron GeForce 7300 GT AGP 8x, placed on an AGP 4x port. I
bought it, because the previous Geforce4 MX 440 was no longer supported by NVIDIA.
If this is not it, make sure you have nvidia-graphics installed
This is what I have installed:

and use
nvidia-graphics-switch 9746
I did the above command, but the problem still persists.
Also please check the output of
modinfo nvidia-1_0-9746 | grep ^ver
