it is about 3 months ago when i changed the vid card. i dont remember if
i removed the driver, but very likely not. iirc some nvidia stuff was
removed at upgrade to 9.10.

when i now look into synaptics related to nvidia i have
xserver-xorg-video-nv
nvidia-96-modaliases
nvidia-185-modaliases
nvidia-173-modaliases
nvidia-common
smartdimmer

as i follow a bit the development of open source vid drivers at phoronix
i knew, that ati dropped the support for older cards and people should
use the open source drivers instead. so i had never the need of
installing closed source drivers. in the time between the vid card
change and the upgrade i had several reboots, mainly because of kernel
header updates iirc.
