Hi,

I just updated my home computer and now the propietary nvidia driver (
nvidia-x11-drv-1.0.9746-1.i386.rpm) fails to load. I ran "modprobe nvidia"
and it fails with a message saying that my GeForce2 MX/MX 400 is no longer
supported, that I should use 1.0.96xx drivers instead. I tried to download
the previous version of the driver again (nvidia-x11-drv-1.0.9631-1.i386.rpm)
but it is gone from all the mirrors. If anyone has this old rpm around could
you send it to me?

Matthias maybe you can rebuild it as nvidia-legacy-x11-drv or something, to
keep it available for us folks with old (but still working very well) cards.

Thank you very much and merry christmas to you all!

Regards,
Daniel
