NVIDIA-Legacy GPU version (71.86.xx series)

It would seem all the other branches have a pkgbuild except for this one.. which happens to be the one I need.

I'm still learning how to make pkgbuilds, I couldn't really figure out how to make one for this driver. Using the other branches' pkgbuilds, I don't have an nvidia-utils. FYI the card is a Riva128.

Thanks

You'll need to downgrade to a *very* old X to use this driver. And also downgrade the kernel to a really old version. I don't think it's worth the bother.

Oh ok, thanks for the information. (and really sorry about the super late reply)

I guess I'll see what I can do about downgrading or making a hack to get it working. Currently I'm using xf68-video-nv and its working but the video card is working MUCH slower than it should be.
