Yes, update-manager will tell you about the problem if your card only
works with the legacy drivers (which aren't working in intrepid). If
you still choose to upgrade, it will transition your X.org to nv.

That's unfortunately what it comes down to, unless you can get along
with the nv driver. At least hardy is an LTS, so it will be supported
on the desktop for another 2.5 years.
