FS#245 - nvidia old 96xx legacy drivers problem
I am unable to get the live-cd mode to start the nvidia legacy 96xx driver/module. It fails after trying to unpack the 96xx kernel and uses the NV driver instead (meaning no 3d acceleration). 96xx is the correct version for my nvidia mx440 card and has worked perfectly in previously in past elive versions up to Gem. Unstable version 1.8.8 and the two previous unstable releases of them all had the same problem. Good slow burn at 8x speed and Md5 checked. not a particular release as it is exactly the same in those three 1.8.8 and below. Also an error box prompts at startup saying not all features have been started and recommends rebooting to try to get them working.
Installs fine, It installs the NV driver etc and when i try to switch to/install the 96xx after install I am not good enough at linux to get it working. It never starts x and pushes me to a login prompt.
During boot it even tells me there is an error and report it here.

This problem looks like to be fixed in the next build 1.9.18 of Elive Development ISO, please try it and close this ticket if the problem is fixed
Tested live and installed. Nvidia legacy 96xx works properly again with my setup. hope it wasn’t too big a problem for you or other users. Great job thana, thank you.
Perfect, bug closed. Was just a dependency of other packages that was not removed from nvidia packages... now fixed and added some checkers in the iso building system :)
