No it doesn't. It means the 7xxx (currently 7184) driver that we already include (the nvidia-legacy-glx packages) support it. 9631 is done. Updates to it come in the form of updates to the latest driver, currently 9755. The only driver that nvidia currently supports for these cards is 7184, since they dropped support in 9755. So if you just want support, we already have it. If you want composite, you'll need to wait for the implementation in lrm to include 9631 support. -- MASTER: Request for new-legacy nvidia drivers (9631) https://launchpad.net/bugs/96430 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
