Well, I could try compiling the module using m-a a-i. However, from
earlier experience on another older graphics card, I believe that
loading the new module will fail because it won't find a supported card.
So I guess that is it for FX Go5200 :(

I just hope KDE 4.2 does not barf with the 173 version of Nvidia driver.

By the way, are there usually updates to older nvidia drivers?
