SUCCESS!!! Tried everything and they all b0rked me good. This one worked perfect. It removed a couple of packages but I had no issues re-adding those. Can finally play a couple of games. Thanks much.

Fails for me.
Instead of the legacy-96-xx Driver needed
for my card, some other is installed.

kernel log says:

NVRM: The NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X GPU installed in this system is
NVRM: supported through the NVIDIA 96.43.xx Legacy drivers. Please
NVRM: visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more
NVRM: information. The 195.36.31 NVIDIA driver will ignore
NVRM: this GPU. Continuing probe…
NVRM: No NVIDIA graphics adapter found!

Thanks, m. zinoune! Your script worked great and saved me a lot of time and headache. I wonder why more tutorials are not written up like this. Great idea!
