NOTES:

nvidia-glx-ia32 only supports GeForce 6xxx+ series NVidia cards.

My Lenovo Thinkpad T61p has a Quadro FX 570M, and Google Earth works
 with the nvidia-glx-ia32 package installed and not without, so I
guess it supports cards other than that series.

I'd say it was definitive proof! :-)
I don't know what you are running, I'm presuming Squeeze as it's just a
dummy package with Wheezy and Sid.

I got that information from here:-
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/nvidia-glx-ia32
This version only supports GeForce 6xxx and higher of the Geforce
GPUs plus complimentary Quadros and nforce. Look at the legacy
packages for older cards.

See /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx/README.txt.gz for a complete list of
supported GPUs and PCI IDs.

So I'm guessing that makes your card a "complimentary" Quadro.

Cheers
