Somehow I don't think nvidia is planning on updating that driver. They
no longer support the old cards, that's why David has to use the old
drivers. The new driver doesn't support his card. It is not typical
that companies will work on drivers of old products. They want you to
buy their new product instead.
Sorry to say, you'll either have to live with that error, downgrade your
kernel, use open drivers or get a new video card. Those are the only
options I see.
