Bug Description

Binary package hint: restricted-manager

The restricted driver manager appears to mark my nvidia ti4600 as needing the legacy drivers instead of the nvidia-glx drivers. The card is old, but according to the criteria in synaptic, the legacy drivers are intended for cards older than mine.

xorg.conf Edit (3.6 KiB, text/plain)

I went ahead with the installation and it does in fact install the legacy drivers. 3-D accelleration does work. Is the Ti4600 supposed to be using the legacy drivers now? My xorg file is attached:

Forgot to also mention that even though I restarted, restricted manager still indicates a restart is required.

There are now two legacy drivers, 71xx and 96xx. The latter one is the newest driver for your card, and it is going to be added to Feisty, as per bug #96430.
