oh, ok.. so i thought.. pitty.

i have Quadro K1000M in my notebook, so not very old and not new.

The thing is, if i start in descrete-card mode, i have some strange
grafic boot, but the system runs well. Runs there the Nvidia card, but
with nouveau-driver??

as it seems, yes.

is Nvidia in nouveau-mode then better than the intel card? not really,
isn't it?
