It might be worth to take a little peekaboo over the shoulder of our big
sister Debian:

http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/nvidia-settings-legacy-173xx.html

http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-
173xx.html

Would be nice to have this fixed before 12.04.4

Title:
  The quantal version of nvidia-settings doesn't support legacy nvidia
  driver (173) and tends to be backported to Precise 12.04.3

Status in “nvidia-settings” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I tried to configure my display using the nvidia-settings package from Quantal repository, I meet the error message: "The NVIDIA X driver on (...) is not new enough to support the nvidia-settings Display Configuration page.". It makes sense, because I'm using the legacy nvidia-173 driver. My non-elegant soluction was install the nvidia-settings from Precise repository, that solved the problem.
  Being more precise:
  $ dpkg -l |grep nvidia
  ii  nvidia-173                           173.14.36-0ubuntu0.1                      i386
  ii  nvidia-settings                      304.51-0ubuntu2                           i386
    DIDN'T WORKS

  but
  $ dpkg -l |grep nvidia
  ii  nvidia-173                           173.14.36-0ubuntu0.1                      i386
  ii  nvidia-settings                      295.33-0ubuntu1                           i386
   WORKS

  There is no package that the name is something like nvidia-
  settings-173 available in Quantal repository, but it's required to
  configure properly a old Nvidia device.
