But still borked. I have a couple of motherboards here, one new in my 
desktop PC, with NVidia graphics. The Nouveau driver doesn't support the 
old NVidia hardware, and Debian Sid no longer includes the NV driver 
that DOES work with old hardware. The Nouveau driver barely supports the 
NVidia in my newest motherboard.

Sorry, I don't consider the Nouveau driver ready for primetime, they 
should still supply and continue developing the NV driver, or give up 
the attempt at idealism and include the NVidia binary drivers.
