I know. 173.15 and newer don't support FX5200 cards. |

I tried several different 173.14.xx versions and none of them |
| 17 |
work for me (I don't remmeber if .09 was one of them). I |
| 18 |
always got an illegal instruction traps when Xorg is starting. |

Other people reported that same problem to nvidia, but AFAICT, |
| 20 |
there was never any fix. |

I went back to 100.19 and a 2.6.24 kernel and it seems to work |
| 23 |
fine. It's a bit dissappointing that my card isn't suported by |
| 24 |
recent drivers/kernels when it's only about 1-1/2 years old. |
