OK, well, I have one more suggestion. From reading the list of
supported chipsets for the nv driver, it looks like the closest match
is "GeForce 8300 GS". Let's try

Chipset "GeForce 8300 GS"

in the "Device" section. I have no idea if it will work. It's a shot
in the dark.

The official driver from nvidia has dropped support, but Debian still
carries them. You will need the -legacy-71xx and -legacy-96xx packages
for those chipsets.

Sadly, no joy with that option, either.

Once again, Stephen, thank you for all your assistance.

You're welcome, but I am disappointed too. I'm curious to know what
the failure symptom was. Did it complain that the chipset override was
invalid? Or did it accept the chipset override but fail to initialize
the server? Or did it work for a while and then freeze up? What was
the symptom of the failure?
