ok so I probably should pay more attention during the upgrade process 
next time :)  tho I am sure there were nvidia-glx packages still 
installed after the upgrade (and not 180) maybe they were just the older 
ones, I was using nvidia-glx-177 in intrepid, and at some stage was 
using -envy packages though that prob may have been with hardy.

Anyway I pretty sure my card should be supported in 173 (and did work 
with that version in intrepid), also never had any problems with the 
"nv" driver with this card previous to jaunty (however vaguely recall 
there might have been issues with the nv driver when running monitors on 
DVI) . But I guess this is all just related to the new xorg version ?

regardless in the past Xorg has always been good with failsafe'ing over 
to vesa driver, which didnt happen this time round.



however I am sure there where nvidia-glx packages
