Title:
  NVIDIA driver doesn't compile with new kernel

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am running a workstation with an old NVIDIA GK107GL (Quadro K2000)
  graphics card. This uses nvidia-driver-470.

  On Friday, I received a kernel upgrade to 6.14.0-24. It appears that
  the 470 driver is no longer available for this kernel. Consequently my
  display was hosed after rebooting - symptoms: no ability to use
  multiple monitors, poor resolution, windows larger than the available
  display area.

  
  I have temporarily resolved this by rolling the kernel back to 6.11.0-29 and purging the new kernel - unfortunately, the attached logs are from this version of the kernel where everything is working.

  
  It is not clear to me if this is a bug or if this older driver is no longer supported. I thought I would report in case it is the former. If it is the latter, at least I will know that I should buy a new graphics card!

  I am not the only person seeing this issue:
