so again :
LARGE ( http://steampowered.com/status/survey.html just look at Steam statistics, there are ton of GF3-GF4 users, ~5-10%, and those are ppl playing games =have huge incentive to upgrade, and here we got ppl who often chose linux NOT to upgrade the computer) percentage of nvidia users have NO WAY to pick the correct (9631) driver , there are only two, legacy 7xxx (for TNT and first Geforce) and 97xx (for FX and never cards).
I propose something like nvidia-glx-lesslegacy , because 9631 is somewhere in between 7xxx and 97xx
anyway I downgraded to -12 kernel and nvidia-glx_1.0.9631
I posted first in /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ linux-restricte d-modules- 2.6.20/ +bug/96941

rasz@capek:~$ ls -l /var/cache/ apt/archives/ |grep 963 glx_1.0. 9631+2. 6.20.3- 11.10_i386. deb glx_1.0. 9631+2. 6.20.3- 12.11_i386. deb

if you have the correct kernel-old driver pair just install them with sudo dpkg -i and wait for Ubuntu to make the middle range driver available.
