I bought a second (and cheap) nvidia-based graphics card to supplement
the nvidia video on the motherboard. I'd installed the nvidia driver
with no issues, but when I edited xorg.conf and restarted X, the second
card wouldn't come up. Xorg.log.0 said the card needed a legacy driver.
I puzzled a bit. Was I going to have to rename the original module and
install the older version?
So I tried the nv driver for the second card, and it worked! nvidia_drv
on one, and nv_drv on the other.
