When I tried to configure my display using the nvidia-settings package from Quantal repository, I meet the error message: "The NVIDIA X driver on (...) is not new enough to support the nvidia-settings Display Configuration page.". It makes sense, because I'm using the legacy nvidia-173 driver. My non-elegant soluction was install the nvidia-settings from Precise repository, that solved the problem.
Being more precise:
$ dpkg -l |grep nvidia
ii nvidia-173 173.14.
ii nvidia-settings 304.51-0ubuntu2 i386
DIDN'T WORKS
but
$ dpkg -l |grep nvidia
ii nvidia-173 173.14.
ii nvidia-settings 295.33-0ubuntu1 i386
WORKS
There is no package with the name is something like nvidia-settings-173 available in Quantal repository, but it's required to configure properly a old Nvidia device.
