[Bug 131441] Re: [gutsy] restricted-manager shows two nvidia drivers, could be confusing
** Description changed: - Binary package hint: restricted-manager-core - - ORIGINAL PROBLEM (NOW FIXED): - I used restricted-manager-kde to install drivers for my nvidia geforce 7600GT, but it installed nvidia-glx instead of nvidia-glx-new. - - NEW PROBLEM: - Restricted-manager offers both nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new for cards that are compatible with both. However, NVIDIA only supports the most recent driver for cards that can run it, and new users may be confused, especially when restricted-manager says that nvidia-glx-new is for the "latest cards." Personally, I wouldn't consider my 7600 one of the "latest cards," but I should still use nvidia-glx-new, since it is the one that is supported. + Restricted-manager offers both nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new for cards + that are compatible with both.

Alex: OK this is much clearer.

I updated the title to reflect the current situation.
