            They are dropping the legacy support very early now.
            I have a Geforce 4 and it was supported till uUbuntu 12.04 (for over 10 years).

              Article timeline is wrong

              Support is through the end of 2019, not 2016.

                  Nouveau is their, because users write it for their and not for mine cards . Obviosly nouveau(_vieux) is not for any other cards but nVidia .

                    He confused the EOL date for Windows with the Linux one. Here's the Windows one: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3473
