The scanpci cmd gave me the following output:

pci bus 0x0001 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x10de device 0x01da
 nVidia Corporation G72M [Quadro NVS 110M]

I checked that against the Release Notes. Quadro NVS 110M is
not in the list of legacy chipset. I read is as my laptop chipset
is still supported by the latest nvidia driver, and I should not
give up getting a legacy driver. Right?

Thanks.
