My work laptop is quite old, and only has a Quadro FX 1500M in it. I just installed Linux Mint 17.1 on it. Is there any reason to think that the driver posted at http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/81760/en-us won’t work? It’s not on the supported list, but all succeeding versions of the Quadro FX are.
If not, does anyone have any recommendations for a driver I could use?
It used to work well for me until a month ago, when I upgraded to my latest Linux release.
Now, no way to make it work with kernel 3.18.7/glibc2.20/GNOME 3.14.3, at least for me.
Upon further googling, it looks like you’re right - the page here What's a legacy driver? | NVIDIA shows the 304.xx driver as a legacy driver for the Quadro FX 1500M. Thanks!
