[Bug 501064] Re: nvidia-glx-71 a.k.a. nvidia-legacy not longer in repository

 

Unfortunately Nvidia didn't update their driver 71.xx to add the support
for recent releases of the xserver that Ubuntu uses. There is nothing we
can do to solve this problem because the driver is proprietary and we
don't have access to its source code.

We plan on replacing the driver with the open source "nouveau" driver
which (in the future) will support 3D acceleration.

** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-71 (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix
