Old or not, it's still a 128MB graphics card. It should do SOMETHING beyond the basic display. (Edit: In Ubuntu. I hate to say it but it works damn fine in windoze.)
There are only two compatible drivers, 96 and 173. I've tried them both. Also tried a manual driver install. In order to update xorg.conf from the NVidia X Server manager I had to copy, then open using sudo gedit paste and save. Still no joy. I've copied both flavors below.
When I log on it still won't even load my slightly modified X Server Color Correction profile until I manually launch the X Server manager.
Really irritating.
