So we should distribute all 38 driver versions from that page? Or just the two from the direct download page at: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html Which is what you get when you go to "Download Drivers" and select "Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris Drivers". What this is akin to is me uploading a 2.6.20-14 kernel which no longer supports VIA Epia CPU's (wont happen, this is hypothetical). You complain, and I tell you 2.6.20-13 supports your CPU. I can give you a link to it (launchpad will retain it in archive), and you can still download it, but would that really be what you want? Now, edgy works for you, and feisty doesn't. I can argue that edgy will be maintained for 1.5 years, and we'll guarantee security updates for it. Our website confirms this, and you can easily see that in fact we support "edgy" for your cpu, and not "feisty". In this example, feisty latest would be considered the 9755 driver, the 2.6.20-13 kernel+feisty would be considered the 9631 driver (if you want feisty on your Epia, you need that kernel and not the latest kernel), and edgy would be considered the 7134 driver (works, but doesn't have all the bling). Can you understand my issue with this now? -- 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
