[xubuntu-users] GeForce4 Old-video-card working wrong in Xubuntu 14.04

[fernando]

I wanted to verify what you recomend me, so I reenable nouveau and tried 
again.
It starts wrong, but it fixes if there is a xorg.conf limitating the 
horizontal sync.

Then I disabled nouveau again, and things went wrong again.

I'll keep tryin to install nvidia's proprietary driver.
