Hi,

I finally found something about the removed PCI IDs in the 430.xx series:
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1055820/linux/device-support-quietly-reduced-in-430-release-series/
https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4779
https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4788

I'll therefore add them to the list of unsupported legacy cards
(nvidia-legacy-check), with an appropriate NEWS entry.
Since all are supported by the 390xx legacy driver, I don't plan to
introduce a new 418xx legacy driver, since upstream does not seem to do
this either. Also the EoL for 418.xx support is announced as April 2020,
which is much earlier than the EoL for 390xx (end of 2022).

This should also be not a big issue once we (have to) push 430.xx to
buster. I'm a bit more concerned about 435.xx dropping the non-glvnd
bits, unless 430 becomes a proper upstream legacy driver series.

Any comments to this plan?


Andreas
