If you had gone to the nVidia WWW site and looked at the documentation 
for Linux Driver downloads, you would have found that your GeForce 7300 
LE is listed as supported by 3 of the 4 nvidia driver:  180, 173, and 
96, but not the oldest driver 71.

Just look at Appendix A of each driver's README file for the 
information.  All supported GPUs are listed by both name, and some 
hexadecimal PCI ID number, which I am unable to correlate to any 
information printed out by "lspci" for my GeForce 6200....
