Sadly I think you are right. Fixing the nouveau driver, and particularly
for older cards, is an open-ended problem.
Officially Nvidia only supports the GeForce 7600 hardware in driver
version 304. But driver version 304 is too old for inclusion in Ubuntu
20.04.
A newer Nvidia card (and using the latest proprietary Nvidia driver)
would also have solved the problem.
** Package changed: mesa (Ubuntu) => xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu)
** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix
