NOTES:
The following GPUs are no longer supported in the regular NVIDIA
Unified UNIX Graphics Driver. Instead, these GPUs will continue to be
supported through special "Legacy GPU" drivers that will be updated
periodically to add support for new versions of Linux system
components (e.g., new Linux kernels, new versions of the X server,
etc).
There are presently two Legacy GPU driver series. The 1.0-71xx series
supports TNT, TNT2, GeForce 256, and GeForce2 GPUs. The 1.0-96xx
series supports GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4, and Quadro4 GPUs.
For a complete list of the GPUs supported in each of the Legacy GPU
driver series, see the lists below.
The 1.0-71xx driver supports the following set of GPUs:
NVIDIA chip name Device PCI ID
RIVA TNT 0x0020
RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro 0x0028
RIVA TNT2 Ultra 0x0029
