I see that you have more than one issue with your Dell Latitude D800 notebooks, and I can understand that you might hesitate to try my Lubuntu-fake-pae because of expected problems with the nvidia graphics. The only thing I can say is that I have a few older nvidia chips that work with the present version of nouveau (but these are is desktop computers, not in any computer with Pentium M CPU). - Which distro and version are you running right now, and what about the end of life of that version? - Is there any bug report about your issue with nouveau? - Have you tried any proprietary nvidia driver?
