Hi, I have got a very old PC (amd Athlon 1.3ghz etc..., with a NVIDIA Geforce MX 440 Se (64MB) (NV18)
Since 3 or 4 month NVIDIA proprietary graphic card driver doesn't work .
So now I don't have 2D aceleration, and the PC is unusable, slow.
I try nouveau driver but don't work too
My xorg.conf :
Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nouveau"
EndSection
and in my Xorg.0.log, it's say :
failed to open device
device not found

What packages have you installed?

xf86-video-nouveau (with dependencies)

Nope.
You need nouveau-drm, nouveau-firmware and xf86-video-nouveau.

http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … -firmware/ (dependancie (nouveau-drm) so it installed (I saw when I install nouveau driver)
are you sure I need nouveau-firmware ???
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … -firmware/
there is say "firmware needed for NV40 and above"
whereas my graphic card is NV18 (too old)

Install nouveau-drm and paste your kernel logs (dmesg output).
If console/KMS works, but Xorg doesn't , additionally paste Xorg.0.log
