Is there a plan for resolving the issue with nvidia-96 or is nVidia unlikely to provide the same update for those cards? I have a GeForce MX 4000 that worked fine in 11.10 but now doesn't, and the 173 drivers don't work with it. I know it's an old card, but sourcing AGP cards is getting hard! I'd rather keep this computer working as long as I can, even if that means dropping down to 11.10. Could there be an official backport path of some sort for getting a still-compatible version of Xorg installed on 12.04 if the driver is unlikely to be updated?
Ditching a motherboard & GPU for a new release of X doesn't seem like a stellar solution to the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948053 Title: nvidia-173 and nvidia-96 uninstallable on Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu/+bug/948053/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
