Hi,
after upgrading my laptop which has a nVidia Quadro FX1800 built-in (G94 / GT215GLM chipset I believe) I ran into problems over problems.
The latest nvidia drivers no longer support my card, so I installed the nvidia-340xx series packages (core driver, -libgl, -utils, lib32 variants).
After restarting I noticed the nvidia logo showing up 2 or 3 times, but then finally started up.
Everytime the screen changes I got a lot of flickering (screen going black for fractions of a second) and after a few seconds I was back at the nvidia logo - the X session just restarted.
My next attempt fixing this was going to linux-lts, which I installed together with nvidia-304xx-lts. After a reboot I thought that fixed the problem, but after half a minute I experienced the same bullsh** behaviour again.
The issue is extremely bad, starting xterm and running dmesg immediately leads to a Xorg restart, nautilus lives for about a minute, firefox won't even start.
The machine is absolutely unusable.
The problem occurs with linux 3.17(.3) as well as 3.14(.25) lts.
The X logs don't show any errors/problems, but dmesg reveals something's definitely broken here:

What can I do to fix the problem?
Does anyone have experience with nouveau on a Quadro FX1800? What can I expect to work, what not and how's the performance?
I'm so glad I got a Haswell with Intel graphics for my Desktop right now...
I desperately hope anyone here can help me sort this out.

At the very beginning I thought it's just 340xx issue (there are already some threads here on forum or this on devtalk: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topi … x-ubunt/2/) but it's really strange you have problems with 304xx - according to 304 Supported Devices your FX1800 should be handled fine.this Supported Devices section.
After splitting to nvidia and nvidia-340xx I had to downgrade to nvidia-304xx - because of monitor detection issues I couldn't use version 340 (Quadro NVS 140M).
Some solution is available here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p1478277

I re-checked everything I did and installed and noticed that I mixed the nvidia-340xx and nvidia-304xx packages. With 304xx the system is now usable again, the AER-related messages disappeared and only the ACPI warnings in dmesg remain.
I guess I can live with that, but still I recall using the 340 series on linux 3.17 without issues before. AFAIK the support for my GPU was removed in the nvidia-343xx series, so this *should* work, shouldn't it?
Maybe I'll try the manual compilation as suggested in the link you mentioned.
Thanks a bunch, I was about to throw that nvidia crap out of the window already...all this is just their plan to make one buy new hardware within 4 years, so I've had it with nvidia. As soon as this thing becomes absolutely non-supported, I'm going for Intel graphics only. Their first graphics chips are still working fine today and are ancient compared to the Quadro FX1800M.
