I had to switch from nvidia to nv driver, because I own a Gforce2
MX/MX400 card that does not work with legacy neither with the latest
drivers.
...we will need something like...
nvidia-graphics-drivers
nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy
nvidia-graphics-drivers-ancient
You will run out of names when nvidia will drop the next card
generations. Perhaps you can name the packages like this:
nvidia-graphics-drivers-200704
nvidia-graphics-drivers-200601
nvidia-graphics-drivers-200506
with the MM date attached is the date when nvidia did drop some
cards. One whos card does work with nvidia-graphics-drivers-200704 will
not have a problem when the next generation of nvidia drivers, e.g.
nvidia-graphics-drivers-200711, are published
Ok, this is a problem, because people with more recent cards do not
automatically will get the newer drivers. So you need a meta-installer
package nvidia-graphics-drivers. This analyzes the installed card and
automatically installs the correct package.
