Bug Description
Test with the last stable version of easyubuntu (3.01) with dapper drake ubuntu.
When you got a legacy nvidia card, easyubuntu installs the 'normal' nvidia-glx instead of the legacy nvidia-glx.
Could it be possible that easyubuntu detects if the video card is a legacy card (like TNT2), and install nvidia-glx-legacy instead of nvidia-glx ?

Sounds interesting, and possible.
It "just" requires more detection codeing and testing - neither of which i'm any good at.
I'll mark it wishlist and confirm it.
