Hi!

I have a rather decent notebook (Toshiba Satellite P105-S9722) with 
Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GS video card. I installed latest debian system 
with kernel 3.13-1-amd64 on it, but unfortunately nouveau driver doesn't 
work. When I load nouveau module following messages will appear in syslog:

So Is there any way to fix this issue or is my notebook really too old 
for nouveau?
