Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nvidia-180-kernel-source

Last week my Nvidia Geforce 6200GT broke down and i went out and bought an Nvidia 9400GT pci-e.
I tried my best and could not make it work with either the proprietary or the free drivers (not even 3rd party drivers). X did not recognize the card, started up with error, and when started up, the proprietary drivers did not appear in System > Administration > Hardware drivers. Best results were achieved with VESA driver.

The final solution was to abandon Hardy and upgrade to Intrepid >
Jaunty. With Jaunty, the nvidia-180 driver works quite fine.

On a not so personal note, I really wanted to stick with Hardy and I am
sorry I couldn't make it until the next LTS. Just because I bought a
(not so) new piece of hardware. And not any hardware but an Nvidia which
is known to be well supported on Linux.
