Bug#864406: nvidia-legacy-check_375.66-1_amd64.deb fails to unpack

[J Mo]

Hardware is a Macbook Pro 5,1, which has two built-in adapters. One is 
the onboard/chipset-based 9400M and the other is the dedicated-chip 
9600M GT. I'm not even sure the driver supports these. I'm just dorking 
around.



-->lspci -mn | awk '{ gsub("\"",""); if ($2 == "0300") { print $1 " " 
$3$4 } }' | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]'
02:00.0 10DE0647
03:00.0 10DE0863



-->lspci -nn -s 02:00.0
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G96M 
[GeForce 9600M GT] [10de:0647] (rev a1)

-->lspci -nn -s 03:00.0
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation C79 
[GeForce 9400M] [10de:0863] (rev b1)
