Glad to hear the GeForce 7300GS will work in Intrepid(My Card). In Hardy, I used the nvidia-glx-new-envy driver(173.14.12+2.6.24.503-503.31).
Nice to know.  However, is that the exact package name for the driver(177.80) or does it have an nvidia-* name for it? That info would make troubleshooting video problems easier if I had them on a fresh Intrepid install. Thanks for the info,
