Bug Description

The nvidia binary driver 1.0-9755 moved the GeForce4 chipset to legacy. The legacy driver does not support any of the extensions that allows beryl or compiz to run. I see a couple of options.

1. Downgrade the driver to the previous version that supports the GF4.
2. Ignore me and make me use the legacy driver.
3. Make a new package called nvidia-glx-slightly-newer-legacy or something like that.
4. Hire 400+ devs to work on the Neuoveu driver so that it supports beryl/compiz/coral in time for feisty's final release.

This is annoying as I don't have the money to buy a new video card and my card as of 30 minutes ago worked with the acceleration.

Thanks for creating an otherwise incredible distro.
