[Nouveau] Nouveau Digest, Vol 104, Issue 60, GV-N430OC-1GL is needed to work under kernel 2.4

Wed Dec 30 07:06:32 PST 2015

Hello!
  I have very old distributive (RedHat 7.2, kernel 2.4.8-20).
 One important program works on it with graphical user's interface.
 (X11 works, KDE works.)
 But this hard disk (IDE) is very old. Due of that my task now is to clone
 this system to another (more modern, SATA) hard disk.
  I have connected to this motherboard new disk (SATA) with Windows-7.
  I have download from the official RedHat's site the most similar
 distributive (Enigma, kernel 2.4.7-10) and created a virtual Linux-machine
 under Windows-7.
  When installing RedHat's distributive I have selected "Skip X configuration"
 because my videocard was absent in card's list.
  But X11 is needed for work.
  I tried to install X11 from rpm-packet from this distributive Enigma:
 rpm -ivh XFree86-Servers-3.3.6-42.src.rpm
 Packet is installed, config file XF86Config is created, but I changed it
 by the same file from disk-original. Now when I type "startx" I get messages:
(EE) VESA(0): No matching modes
.................................
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Fatal server error:
no screen found
.................................
 and X-server doesn't start.
 So I have one system which works and the second system which doesn't work.
 On the same hardware.
 Please, help me by hints:
 1). what I did wrong?
 2). what should I do now?
 Thanks.
P.S. My videocard is named GV-N430OC-1GL and I tried to find Linux-drivers
 for it. There are only enough modern drivers (for kernel 2.6) on the
 NVIDIA's site. I think nobody will make drivers for kernel 2.4 now.
 Due of that what driver I should to use? VESA? SVGA? VGA?
