This was Ubuntu, and the Nvidia card I have is antique, GT7300, which is
why 304 and not 331, and it worked until a recent upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10,
after which the shipped drivers did not work, and the ones from the Nvidia
website wouldn't build, complained about a missing header file, until I grabbed
a 3.18.9 kernel from kernel.org and built per someone else's recommendations.
This is on an old MacPro 1,1. This shipped drivers just wouldn't load.
