[   15.612398] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
[   15.612408] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

The nVidia module is not being inserted into the kernel at boot time.

Also nVidia lists the card as legacy.  They are making no more updates
to the driver.  Xorg has moved on.  It is not likely, as with older
AMD/ATI legacy cards, that this card will work with current and future
versions of Xorg, since it is doubtful that Xorg will spend much effort
in trying to provide backwards compatibility with every possible legacy
card every OEM has ever manufactured.

I have some old Matrox cards in the garage.  My guess is that they would
not work.
