Hi
I have a agp nvidia tnt2 model 64 and i´ve never had serious problems with this card, but since november/december , i do.
i always used testing so i switched to xorg 7 and i think that i´ve got that card running with prop. nvidia drivers once or twice last month.
i un- and installed those drivers several times and tried combinations of kernel26, kernel26mm, kernel26archck,extra/nvidia-legacy,testing/nvidia-legacy and a bunch of old nvidia-driver-packages from nvidia.com without any succes. Often the driver is build correct and i get errors like this
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so is an unrecognized module type
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (unknown module type, 6)
(EE) No drivers available.
I also thought, that old hardware + new software is a bad idea and i´ve read articals about matching gcc versions (same version for kernel ans driver) and i´ve read (as i remember anywhere in this forum) that the current kernel ist matching testin/nvidia-legacy.
what could be the reason for this and how to get that card running with that drivers again?.

Is there a reason you are using nvidia-legacy over just nvidia? Is it due to your older card? If not, then try just nvidia.

yes, i use nvidia-legacy because of my old card. i´ve read nvidia took driver support out from their main package and created an new one, based on an older driver release for just all the old cards and called this nvidia-legacy.

My guess is that nvidia legacy doesn't support Xorg7. You might want to try the opensource nv driver for these old cards.

I have the same problem ( nv-legacy, riva tnt2 and xorg 7)
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)
nvidia-legacy package is installing glx libs not where it should?
EDIT:
tpowa released a new release of nvidia-legacy, now works fine, thx to him
