this driver is no more supported upstream so you'd better try the 'nouveau' driver I think

CC: (none) => thierry.vignaud

That is bad news, neither the nvidia nor the nouveau driver works for me on either my 210 card or my old GF2 MX/MX400 card.

Closing as OLD (IIRC the nvidia driver works for you now).

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
