No, I have an older card. a GT 350. For years I have been using the
nvidia-legacy-390xx series of 'old' nvidia drivers.  But after a recent 
upgrade
I had no graphical support after boot. I had an nvidia kernel module, 
but glx
couldn't find support for my video card. Later, I saw some evidence that
support for my card was being dropped out the legacy support, so I am
guessing that is what happened.
