Stephen (or other nvidia legacy expert),

I've got an old nvidia TNT card I was having an issue with so I
thought I'd try the old legacy nvidia driver with it.

But the oldest nvidia driver is not in the repo.

ie.   x11-video-nvidiaG02 and x11-video-nvidiaG01 are both there for
11.3, but  x11-video-nvidia is not.

I assume that's intentional and that the older legacy driver is no
longer compatible with a recent kernel?

fyi: I tried to download the source and compile it.  That worked, but
when I tried startx, I got an error

dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so: undefined symbol:
AllocateScreenPrivateIndex

I found numerous references to that on the web, but no obvious solutions.

Thanks
Greg
