[Nouveau] Problem with GT218 (GeForce GT210)

[Andre Campos Rodovalho]

Hello, I'm facing issues with a Point of View GT210/218 and nouveau
drivers. I'm using ubuntu server with LXDE on top of it...

I need to boot with nomodeset to see something on this machine. But the
most wierd is that I have a very similar machine with almost the same video
card and I have no problems to use it. The installation is the same, I
cloned the hard drive...

The machine that is working fine is a Asus M5A97 R.20 + Zogis GeForce GT210
The machine that is with blank screen after Xorg is loaded is ASRock
980DE3/U3S3 + Point of View GeForce GT210.

What can I do to solve this problem?

ASRock has:
Northbridge: AMD RX881/760G; Southbridge: AMD SB710
And Asus has:
Northbridge: AMD 970; Southbridge: AMD SB950

Tnx for your help!
