Its working again...
On a different machine also running feisty with a later nVidia video card, I
noticed that the latest update reverted the nvidia-glx package to 1.96xx, so I
decided to try to enable it again on my laptop. I reinstalled nvidia-glx,
rebooted, and it works correctly, with
I have an XFX brand nvidia 7800GT 256 MB AGP 8x card that uses a bridge
chip to convert it from PCI-e to AGP.

Just a note - I don't know if this is useful or not. I used the package

Now the restricted Driver's Manager detects that I need propriety
software, but when it installs the driver X will not restart.

attached the whole X log file too:
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??)
This goes for the card in my Latitude D800 laptop too. This is a pretty
decent machine still and there have to be a lot of them out there...
(WW) NVIDIA(0): The NVIDIA GeForce4 4200 Go GPU installed in this system is
(WW) NVIDIA(0): supported through the NVIDIA 1.0-96xx Legacy drivers.
(WW)
Kernel du jour updated the nvidia driver, I'll update r-m's lists.
