Just a word of warning from a RPM Fusion packager... The legacy drivers are
supported on RPM Fusion on a "best effort" basis. Fedora runs the latest
kernels, 5.4.x currently. Since the legacy drivers from NVidia are not
being updated to be compatible we have a couple of people capable of doing
minor API patching to keep them limping along but there is always a risk
that there will be a change that is too difficult to backport.

If I had a legacy card I would keep using it as long as it worked, but if I
was buying a new card I would make sure it's currently supported.

Just my $0.02...

Thanks,
Richard
