Hi, I have exactly the same problem, with a GeForce 6200 (Asus brand).

At first I thought that restricted manager didn't want to bother me with
the driver I already installed, or didn't want to touch a customized
xorg.conf ; so I tried to revert to a "debconf-made" xorg.conf, ,
removed nvidia-glx, etc etc but it didn't help (I know, it may seem a
strange idea... Don't ask :) ).
Then I checked further in the scripts and on the forums and I realized
that according to r-m's database, my card is indeed supported by
proprietary drivers, and the nvidia driver should be listed in r-m's
window.

Here's the output of lspci :

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev 
a1)

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lspci -n | grep 0300
01:00.0 0300: 10de:0221 (rev a1)

This "10de:0221" card is indeed listed, in "/usr/share/restricted-
manager/modalias_override/nvidia" as well as in "/var/cache/restricted-
manager/2.6.20-13-generic.restricted" (as
"pci:v000010DEd00000221sv*sd*bc03sc*i*" if I'm correct).

No matter what, "gksu restricted-manager -C" keeps saying "nvidia
hardware not available".

Any idea ?

(This is an Edgy I upgraded to Feisty some time ago. Do you need more
info ? I'd be glad to help).
