Careful with legacy NVIDIA drivers.

The trouble is that the upcoming cycle of common distros will have X
server 1.9. NVIDIA has the mainline driver adapted to the new ABI, but
not the legacy versions. So the proprietary legacy drivers won't work.
NVIDIA has clearly announced that porting the legacy stuff is low on
their priority list.

I am reverting an old laptop from Maverick to Lucid for this reason.

Yes, old hardware gets stale support... Another dead horse, maybe...
