Fixing it would be logical for the short-term, but it needs sustainable maintenance in the long-term.
Nouveau does have in fact limited support for older Nvidia hardware down to, possibly, the TNT (NV04), though nouveau_vidux but yes, it's support is VERY limited and fan control issues are a problem that are being worked on. As stated above if you have issues, you should contact the nouveau driver team for a fix so it can be submitted to the Linux kernel and mesa3d projects equally. |

to use the "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.23-pkg1.run" driver you have to DOWNGRADE xorg to 1.12 or 1.11 |

nvidia will NOT SUPPORT the 96 driver for new versions of xorg see the nvidia "96.43.23" driver page http://www.nvidia.com/download/drive...px/48996/en-us Quote:
it was last updated on "2012.9.14 " nvidia will NOT support a driver for 13 year old cards |

So now would be a good time to branch off the last known good code as "nouveau_legacy" driver and remove the PCI-IDs from the current one, so it doesn't get selected anymore. Quote:

You could try the old 'nv' driver, maybe it will work.
