Not sure what you means by "a bunch of hex in the code". The only hex I see in nouveau is initial device flagging, which is a SINGLE memory address used to identify the card type. I think this is signifigantly different than a block of executible code - essentially it's the card's NAME - not code.
One of the goals of the nouveau project is to write totally free driver; they specifically state that NOT creating binary blobs is an official goal of the project. If you mean the OFFICIAL (restricted) nVidia driver, oh. ;) Yeah, that's the nature of non-Free stuff. RENouveau is designed to help look at that hex, the memory addresses it affects and, by running standardized tests, watch changes in the memory, and from that they're writing a Libre driver. And while I would also suggest Intel graphics right now because they're the only fully functional AND Libre, the OP needs an AGP expansion card, not integrated.

I spoke with the nouveau guys and they said there there was a bunch of hex in the code, that they didn't really understand and manipulating it was just guess work, they didn't really understand it. I hear the Intel 965 is quite good.
