<div dir="ltr">this doesn't sound great. What does it mean for in terms of what I can or can't do? My main machine has ubuntu 12.04 with latest mythbuntu fixes/0.27 and onboard GeForce 8200.

</span>The 343 driver supports the 400 series (but does<br>
appear to drop the rest). But otherwise, your point<br>
is valid. nVidia has had a habit of dropping support<br>
of older cards from their "universal" drivers (I guess<br>
the term "universal" is not what I think it means).<br>
Their "universal" driver used to be a targeted<br>
marketing poke in the ribs to their main<br>
competitor (ATI) driver versioning (which left old<br>
cards unsupported). I guess nVidia learned that<br>
lesson.<br>
<br>
One question (which only nVidia can not answer<br>
(they do not talk about future features)) is whether<br>
full wayland support will be backported to the 340<br>
drivers. If not, that may leave a lot of people with<br>
some hard choices down the road.<br>
