Hello,
it seems that the NVIDIA developers will only fix it if they have
time to do
it. I guess that the legacy driver does not have a high priority.
I tried the nouveau driver and it works on my old GeForce 3 even with
compositing. It is a little bit slow but it does the job. Thanks for the
hint.
But on my other computer the nouveau driver does not work with a
GeForce 7.
It is weird. Two NVIDIA graphic cards and one needs the closed source
driver
and the another one the open source one.
Geforce 7 should work, see the links in
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau#Installation
If it does not work at all, you should report that to upstream
developers.
Maybe try first the latest packages which have just been moved to
extra today.
I use a mirror that contains the version git20091013. It is behind the
original Arch Linux mirror. It syncs daily so I guess that I will get
the new version tomorrow. Then I will try again.

Hello again,
with the new version of nouveau Xorg works well with my GeForce 7 card.
Compositing is still very buggy under KDE 4.3.3 in this case. There are
no problems with compositing using Xfwm 4 or Xfce 4.6.1 on my other
computer with a GeForce 3. I decide to use nouveau without compositing
on my newer computer and will try desktop effects again if a new version
of nouveau is released to give feedback to the developers.
Have a nice day.
Bye
Lars
