I'm afraid I've also been bitten by this "upgrade".  I have a 3-year-old
GeForce4 Ti 4200 card, and I've just found out nVidia have dropped
support for this card in their latest drivers.  After installing the
latest feisty updates, the X server would not start.

In the Xorg log file, there was a message hinting that I needed to
install the legacy drivers.  So I did "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-
legacy" and rebooted.  That gave me a working X server.  But I then
found that 3D-accelerated apps would not run (some problem with finding
GLX visuals).  After looking through the logs and doing some online
research, I found a solution: I added this line to the "Device" section
of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf :

Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"

Hope this information is helpful to somebody.
