Could also be the kernel, but most likely it's Mesa. > If I understand > correctly that the Mesa driver doesn't support the card, The driver does support the card, but it is rather buggy and not supported itself by the upstream developers. > isn't nouveau at fault for using that driver anyway? There are several drivers for different card generations with varying degrees of support; the problem is that they are contained in the same file. See http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/MesaDrivers. You can disable the 3D driver by putting LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 into the environment; forget about most games then, since the software renderer is usually too slow for them.
