I am so ashamed! It is just because on my work I build many used computers 
with 7300GT, so this was in my head.

Well, to my problem: The legacy driver cannot be build, as it mourns the wrong 
version. Please take a look:

---- 

I took a look in the "Makefile", and suppose, this is the problem:
# Check for kernel versions that we don't support.

BELOW26 := $(shell if [ $(VERSION) -lt 2 -o $(PATCHLEVEL) -lt 6 ]; then \
                echo y; fi)

ifeq ($(BELOW26),y)
$(error Only 2.6.x and later kernels are supported \
        ($(VERSION).$(PATCHLEVEL).$(SUBLEVEL)))
endif

Maybe I could change this for fast testing? Or just commet this check out?
What do you think?
