Is this in reference to when the nvidia driver had

  sudo rm -rf /usr /lib/something/something
in its install script?

... I'm not actually surprised.

But no; my desktop machine has a video card that doesn't display anything (black screen) if booted with the non-legacy nvidia drivers. I had to boot off a old 32-bit install to get rid of them and then wrestle apt/dpkg back into a sane state.

Ah right, yes, NVidia frequently drops support for old models in their newer driver releases. I'm so happy I have left that world behind, with both my PC and notebook using AMD GPUs.
