• Does Debian stable's trixie fully support very old GeForce 8800 GT video card?

    $ lspci | grep -i nvidia
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G92 [GeForce 8800 GT] (rev a2)

    I had to use my onboard Intel GPU since I couldn't get it to work. Even dmesg shows nouveau errors when not using my old GeForce GPU's display as shown in https://zimage.com/~ant/temp/dmesg.txt. I have everything updated in Debian. I read only up to buster has the driver support? If that's true, then does that mean I can't use my old GeForce 8800 GT video card at all?

    Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

    This is a question for the nouveau people. There is a mailing list https://lists.freedesktop.org/postorius/lists/nouveau.lists.freedesktop.org/
