Hi guys. I'm having some trouble searching the proper video driver for my system. I need the nvidia driver for my Geforce 210.
The wiki says: "For GeForce 2/3/4 MX/Ti series cards [NV11 and NV17-NV28], install nvidia-96xx package, available in the AUR. " , but is there any way to avoid using AUR?
I've tried downloading the propretary driver from Nvidia' site and couldn't install it. So i'm thinking about the open drivers: is Nouveau a good choice in your opinion?
Thanks for reading!

You have Geforce 200, not 2/3/4.

I thought 2 meant 200. So what do you think i should install? Now i'm even more confused.

No, 2 means 2. What a concept, huh? Man, you must be young if you don't know the Geforce 2. I had one, in a machine with an AMD Duron 800MHz processor. Those were the times . I still have the machine, but the Geforce 2 died, so it got replaced with a Geforce FX 5200.
You should install the mainline driver - nvidia/nvidia-utils.

run the following command & post the output here:
lspci | grep VGA
if you REALLY do mean Geforce 210 you should see something like this (as I have a Geforce 210)
┌─(t0m5k1@b0x)-(1131/pts/3)-(03:02pm:10/05/13)-
└─>(%:~)
└─>> lspci | grep VGA
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2)
ROG Strix (GD30CI) - Intel Core i5-7400 CPU - 32Gb 2400Mhz - GTX1070 8GB - AwesomeWM (occasionally XFCE, i3)
If everything in life was easy, we would learn nothing!
