Bug Description

Description of the problem:
After enabling the legacy (71xx) NVIDIA binary only drivers there are warnings about unused options in /var/log/Xorg.0.log .

Step to reproduce:
1. Enable *legacy* NVIDIA binary drivers using jockey-gtk .
2. Restart the computer and when X has started look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log .

Expected results:
No warnings about unused options.

Actual results:
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "AddARGBVisuals" is not used
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" is not used

How reproducible is this bug?
Reproducible every time.

Additional information:
If you look at http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/71.86.04/README/README.txt you will see no mention of AddARGB* options for legacy drivers. The 96xx and later series of drivers DO have these options though.

Version information:
Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
jockey-gtk 0.3.3-0ubuntu1
jockey-common 0.3.3-0ubuntu1

OK, thanks for pointing out. Those options allegedly were required in the past. Or maybe they just need to go to the Screen section, like in bug 154596? Can you please try that?

Moving them into the Screen section makes no difference - the warnings still appear. This is born out by the upstream documentation ( http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/71.86.04/README/README.txt and search for ARGB - no references are found).

(Having to have it in the Screen section rather than device for the 96xx drivers sounds a bit strange because http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/96.43.05/README/README.txt says it can be in either but oh well).
