have had good luck using nouveau driver for years.
nouveau driver was default on an older nvidia card which i was trying to get
CUDA running on ~GeForce 9600 .eventually did get it to work .made an Xorg.conf
that had x y coordinates that were smaller than monitor maximum.
GPU processing power was only double of dual-core Athlon :)
on these links it mentions the need to disable nouveau driver

older link from 2012 describing Debian 6 with Quadro FX 3800M
"
Create a file as follows disable-nouveau.conf:
# vi /etc/modprobe.d/disable-nouveau.conf
Append the following code:
# Disable nouveau
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
"
i would be tempted to create a small file using echo >> rather than vi
