Can confirm that nouveau.noaccel=1 solved the lockup in my desktop with "GeForce 6150SE nForce 430". But if you need some graphical effects or things like that, forget! You'll have an system 'not bricked', but really ugly.

I'm not using Ubuntu anymore, but last year (with another distro) I give nouveau a try and the same problem that I used to have in fresh Ubuntu install 4 years back showed.

This glitch in nouveau is very annoying. NVIDIA proprietary driver (304xx-lts) don't have a good performance with glx (i.e. if you have compton and some little desktop effects, the delay is huge). Same machine, same NVIDIA driver, but this time with Windows: the desktop don't have such a poor performance.

Nothing is perfect... I have to buy a new computer anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
