Unfortunately, I do. It's my old NVidia GeFORCE 2 PRO, which does not seem
to be supported by the upstream. I know that the hardware nowadays is
cheap, but... I just don't like throwing out good, working hw just because
someone decided to stop supporting it.
Anyway, Debian decided to support the legacy version as well. I am very glad
about this. I have just reported the problem I've encountered and suggested
a simple way for the others to solve it. I don't have the problem anymore,
at least until next Sid upgrade :).
