NVIDIA binary kernel module source (96xx legacy version)

This package provides the source for the NVIDIA Xorg binary kernel module needed by nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx in a form suitable for use by module-assistant or kernel-package. The NVIDIA binary drivers provide optimized hardware acceleration of OpenGL applications via a direct-rendering X Server for graphics cards using NVIDIA chip sets. AGP, PCIe, SLI, TV-out and flat panel displays are also supported.

PLEASE read /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-source/README.Debian.gz for building information. If you want the kernel module to be automatically installed via DKMS, install nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-dkms instead.

This legacy version is the last release that supports the following GPUs: GeForce2 Go [NV11], GeForce2 MX Integrated Graphics [NVCrush11], GeForce2 MX/MX 400 [NV11], GeForce2 MX200 [NV11DDR], GeForce3 [NV20], GeForce3 Ti 200 [NV20], GeForce3 Ti 500 [NV20], GeForce4 410 Go 16M [NV17], GeForce4 420 Go [NV17], GeForce4 420 Go 32M [NV17], GeForce4 440 Go [NV17], GeForce4 440 Go 64M [NV17], GeForce4 448 Go [NV18M], GeForce4 460 Go [NV17], GeForce4 488 Go [NV18M], GeForce4 MX 420 [NV17], GeForce4 MX 420 AGP 8x [NV18], GeForce4 MX 440 [NV17], GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x [NV18], GeForce4 MX 440SE [NV17], GeForce4 MX 440SE AGP 8x [NV18], GeForce4 MX 460 [NV17], GeForce4 MX 4000 [NV18], GeForce4 MX - nForce GPU [NV18], GeForce4 Ti [NV25], GeForce4 Ti 4200 [NV25], GeForce4 Ti 4200 AGP 8x [NV28], GeForce4 Ti 4200 Go AGP 8x [NV28], GeForce4 Ti 4400 [NV25], GeForce4 Ti 4600 [NV25], GeForce4 Ti 4800 [NV28], GeForce4 Ti 4800 SE [NV28], Quadro DCC [NV20DCC], Quadro NVS [NV17GL], Quadro NVS 50 PCI [NV18GL], Quadro NVS 280 SD AGP 8x [NV18GL], Quadro2 MXR/EX/Go [NV11GL], Quadro4 380 XGL [NV18GL], Quadro4 500 GoGL [NV17GL], Quadro4 550 XGL [NV17GL], Quadro4 580 XGL [NV18GL], Quadro4 700 XGL [NV25GL], Quadro4 750 XGL [NV25GL], Quadro4 780 XGL [NV28GL], Quadro4 900 XGL [NV25GL], Quadro4 980 XGL [NV28GL], Quadro4 Go700 [NV28GLM], NV40GL.

There are several "more modern" GPUs supported by this package, too, but the updated drivers in the newer legacy packages or the current nvidia-glx package usually provide more features and better support. Look at the other legacy packages for older cards.

See /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-source/README.txt.gz for a complete list of supported GPUs and PCI IDs.
