I think the new driver should be packaged and the package released asap, and this bug report should be updated. Now it seems that we're all waiting that somebody does something, but nobody does anything. That makes, IMO, Ubuntu in whole look bad. -- ABI change in xorg 1.9 breaks legacy nvidia-96

I reverted the patch in jockey that ignores nvidia-96 and put it into the PPA. If jockey still doesn't automatically update the xorg.conf file then do this: 1. Ensure that the nvidia-common package is installed. Jockey needs nvidia-common to detect nvidia-96 and nvidia-173 hardware. 2. Backup
