Hello Christopher,
 
 
thanks for your posting.
 
Yes, the driver I tried was the proprietary (nvidia-detect-)suggested nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver. When I configure nouveau to be used I get the following error (Xorg.0.log):

This looks to me as the nouveau driver does not support my older GPU NVIDIA Corporation C73 [GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i] (rev a2) any more.
Does anybody know if there is a nouveau driver supporting the GeForce 7100 somewhere available for download?
 
Thanks and regards,
Andreas

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
did you try that? if yes, and it failed as well, maybe try the
proprietary nvidia driver from their site (if you are ok with non-free,
of course)
