I will attach a screenshot, which shows restricted manager with restricted drivers enabled for both cards and nvidia-glx-legacy is not even installed (the TNT2 requires nvidia-glx-legacy to work correctly in Xorg).
This would appear to be a bug - correct drivers not installed, shown as installed and in use?

This is indeed a problem, because both nvidia-glx and -legacy call their module just "nvidia", so restricted-manager cannot tell them apart. This problem does not have an easy solution, I'll keep it open, though. Thank you!
