Package: nvidia-driver
Version: 390.87-8
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

My video card (ID_MODEL_FROM_DATABASE=GF106 [GeForce GTS 450] according to
hwinfo) won’t work with the latest 390* driver, upgraded today.
In such cases, the driver should toggle to the right version of the legacy
driver.
