I posted first in 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20/+bug/96941

so again :
LARGE ( http://steampowered.com/status/survey.html just look at Steam 
statistics, there are ton of GF3-GF4 users, ~5-10%, and those are ppl playing 
games =have huge incentive to upgrade, and here we got ppl who often chose 
linux NOT to upgrade the computer) percentage of nvidia users have NO WAY to 
pick the correct (9631) driver , there are only two, legacy 7xxx (for TNT and 
first Geforce) and 97xx (for FX and never cards).

I propose something like nvidia-glx-lesslegacy , because 9631 is
somewhere in between 7xxx and 97xx

anyway I downgraded to -12 kernel and nvidia-glx_1.0.9631

for all the ppl out there , just do

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives/ |grep 963
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  4491620 2007-03-15 23:03 
nvidia-glx_1.0.9631+2.6.20.3-11.10_i386.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  4491624 2007-03-18 20:03 
nvidia-glx_1.0.9631+2.6.20.3-12.11_i386.deb

if you have the correct kernel-old driver pair just install them with
sudo dpkg -i and wait for Ubuntu to make the middle range driver
available.
