Comment 101 for bug 741930

@Alberto: I think your point would be very valid if the hardware that was very old too. But in Lucid, I got full 3D effects using the nvidia-173 driver, in Maverick, I had to downgrade to nvidia-96, and in Natty, there's seems to be no way to get 3D neither in Ubuntu Classic or Unity. Maybe I'm spoilt but I've actually gotten used to Linux and Ubuntu supporting older hardware (also older than this) and and I don't like the thought of ripping out my perfectly functional GeForce 7300 to save me a second of boot time since it's anyway never going to work with my favourite OS again.

Does anybody have experience with this graphics card and other drivers than nvidia-96? Any tricks I could use when I can't seem to make it work with nvidia-173 or nvidia-current?
