<div>Hello,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>getting the NVIDIA GeForce 7100 working under current Debian stretch has been totally failed. The Xorg nouveau driver failed to detect any screen and the fallback vesa driver supported only a resolution of 1024x768 ... but it worked. The kernel module nouveau driver always created the "write ... FAULT" messages and resulted in a system without a properly working mouse in gdms login dialog and a totally unstable session.</div>
<div>Finally I plugged in a different NVidia Card into the free PCI-E slot and it immediately worked fine. So my problem is solved by this workaround but the problem behind the NVIDIA GeForce 7100 is still open.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for all the postings and hints,</div>
<div>Andreas</div>

<div>Hello Felix,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>yes, you were right - NVIDIA GeForce 7100 is supported by nouveau. My fault! First there was an old kernel running without the nouveau kernel module and then the nouveau kernal module was blacklisted by the nonfree nvidia stuff.</div>
<div>Because of running the nonfree nvidia without any success, I removed them as you suggested by purgeing *vidia*. Purgeing xserver-xorg-video-nouveau leeds to a low resolution fallback - so I installed it again and libdrm-nouveau2 was (and is) already installed. When I now start the gdm.service (or the graphical.target), I first get the login screen only without a properly working mouse (no visible pointer but due to mouse movement user entries get somehow highlighted as active). When I then login, the screen resolution is basically OK but the whole gnome-session is extremely instable and the dmesg output lists a lot of ugly ("write ... FAULT") entries:</div>
