To elaborate:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia

The grand total of information on supported video cards is this:

Supported Chipsets
This driver is the current release and supports the most recent NVIDIA graphics cards (GeForce 8 series GPUs onwards, as well as Quadro series). Users of cards based on older chipsets should use one of the following legacy drivers.

This is not helpful information. GeForce210 cards I bought in December are "recent" or not? Are
they "8 series and onward" or not? They are not listed in the legacy lists, is it an omission
or have I dodged a bullet today or not?
