I've got a Nvidia RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro card. When searching
for drivers on nvidia's website they redirect me to Version: 71.86.06
drivers which I've not tried yet. (I've only tried the 71 deb packages
from the proposed repo) If the company recommends to install the 71
drivers I don't think installing 96 drivers would be the perfect
solution. There are might be some problem somewhere otherwise the
drivers recommended by company are always right for your card. I know
this because I've faced this problem on windows in the past. When I
searched for the windows driver version of my card, the company's site
redirected me to the latest legacy drivers for windows but when I ran
the installer it gave me an error that "No supported device found for
these drivers". But when I force installed those drivers (didn't allow
the OS to mess with the driver installation), drivers worked like a
charm. With the latest 71 drivers I was even able to play some games
that didn't seem to work anytime in the past.

So as Alberto said "Ok, it looks like the problem was not fixed in
driver 71 but only in 96." I trust him and will wait for the problem
(whatever it is) to be fixed in 71 drivers. I would try installing the
71 drivers provided by nvidia's website rather than trying out 96
drivers which are for other cards.
