(Get the code!)
The NVIDIA-current direver does not work properly for the nvidia gt2x0 series, this is a bug which is known and present since the first release of this graphic card series.
Its a propietary driver from nvidia and they decided not to get their job done properly. Its closed source and the guys from nvidia rehected to support this grphic card for linux ( in fact even the windows driver for this card series is buggy and was never completely stable till today).
noveau is developped by reverse engineering the closed source nvidia driver code and developping a free open source graphics driver of it... but how to support a graphics card which isnt even properly supported by it own producer? There is no proper working code to reverse engineer! There are no specifications for this card which the card really fulfills....
