No, not yet. I'm trying to keep this machine sort of stable, not mess
too much with the package versions, so squeeze-backports is about as
adventerous as i'm willing to go.

[1309951.424] (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU GeForce 6600 (NV43) at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)
[1309951.424] (--) NVIDIA(0): Memory: 262144 kBytes
[1309951.424] (--) NVIDIA(0): VideoBIOS: 05.43.02.72.00
[1309951.424] (II) NVIDIA(0): Detected PCI Express Link width: 16X

Seems to be one of the oldest model still supposed to be supported by
the driver. I'll try if i can get my hands on a newer GPU.
