## Nvidia Driver

64-
The choice of the `legacy_390` driver is based on looking for PCI Device ID `10de:1436`. On the [nvidia driver site](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/legacy-gpu/) which should indicate the
65-
driver, the exact device isn't listed. However, we can see
66-
[here](https://linux-hardware.org/?id=pci:10de-1436-103c-1909) has nvidia driver "375.82 and newer" listed. Since the
67-
newest nvidia drivers don't support legacy devices, the closest version newer than 375.82 was chosen.
64+
The choice of the `stable` driver is based on looking at the family of the card on [nouveau wiki's code names page](https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/CodeNames.html) obtained with:
65+
66+
```bash
67+
$ lspci -k -d ::03xx
68+
```
69+
70+
Both `Quadro M2200 Mobile (GM206GLM)` and `Quadro M1200 Mobile (GM107GLM)` belong to the **Maxwell** family which is still supported by the stable driver.
