Thanks for the clarification.
(I was somewhat mislead by, on 
  http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_169.12.html
a "Supported products list" link apparently listing 9-series cards, but
on further inspection even driver versions from years ago all link to
the same common page.  That and wishful thinking.)

That'd be great; will be looking out for it.
