The Linux 304.* legacy driver series is the last to support the NV4x and G7x GPUs and motherboard chipsets based on them. Support for new Linux kernels and X servers, as well as fixes for critical bugs, will be included in 304.* legacy releases through the end of 2017.

Support for new Linux kernels and X servers, as well as fixes for critical bugs, will be included in 173.14.* releases through the end of 2013.

Support for X.Org xserver version 1.12 was added to the 96.43.* legacy driver series with version 96.43.23. No further releases from the 96.43.* series are planned.

No further releases from the 71.86.* legacy driver series are planned.

The full list of graphics products that will be maintained in the 304.* legacy driver series follows:
