   35 NOTES:
   36 
   37 The following GPUs are no longer supported in the regular NVIDIA
   38 Unified UNIX Graphics Driver. Instead, these GPUs will continue to be
   39 supported through special "Legacy GPU" drivers that will be updated 
   40 periodically to add support for new versions of Linux system 
   41 components (e.g., new Linux kernels, new versions of the X server, 
   42 etc).
   43 
   44 There are presently two Legacy GPU driver series. The 1.0-71xx series
   45 supports TNT, TNT2, GeForce 256, and GeForce2 GPUs. The 1.0-96xx 
   46 series supports GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4, and Quadro4 GPUs. 
   47 For a complete list of the GPUs supported in each of the Legacy GPU 
   48 driver series, see the lists below.
