Comment 21 for bug 93209

I also have the same chipset (geforce4 go 440) on a Dell Inspiron 8200, and it's detected by restricted-manager who proposes nvidia-legacy (only 7xxx, that has a bug on my system, but that's another bug report).

Could you check by booting a recent daily desktop live CD if the problem still exist for you?
