I don't think there's going to be an easy way to specify which cards go 
with which drivers in the description.  If you say Geforce 2 for 7185 
then there will be people like me who thinks that will include all 
Geforce 2 cards. Maybe a link to the nvidia website that lists which 
cards are supported by which driver?  Either that or them all in the 
package description.

No problem.  Looks like my problem hasn't been solved though.  I still 
get the

"(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)."

error.  I fixed it by creating a the link nvidia_drv.so that points to nvidia-1.0-9639.o. I saw another thread that said the nvidia legacy drivers are still looking for .so instead of .o.  This should probably be fixed.
