14.04 on 800Mhz G4 iMac Lamp - nouveau not working

$

I have done numerous installs, tried 16.04, 14.04, Debian Stretch and Jessie but I can't get my 800Mhz G4 iMac Lamp to work with nouveau. It has an NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX/MX400 but the only way I can get it to boot all the way through is with nouveau.modeset=0. Isn't that essentially telling it not to use that driver?

Then when i try to start X I get a horribly distorted picture with the colors way off.

Should I be able to configure X to run with the nouveau.modeset=0?

Do I need to use a different driver (is nv a possibility with 14.04)?

Please help wanted to give this system to my daughter for Christmas but can't get KDE working.
