How I can install the driver for nVidia GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X in Ubuntu 13.10?

or isn't supported by this Ubuntu version?

Apparently it is supported very well by the Nouveau driver, I get glitches all over my screen... I have already installed the "Nvidia 173 driver" but it only gets worse --1024x768 tops.

I succeeded with an MX 420 by using the Nouveau driver but disabling acceleration. See this answer for the details.

I also had glitches with my Nvidia NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] under Lubuntu 14.04 (with the Nouveau driver). I tried to use without any success several versions of the Nvidia proprietary drivers. No more glitches with these drivers but impossible to get the 1920x1080 correct display resolution I had with the Nouveau Driver. Finally I found a solution with the Nouveau Driver: glitches disappeared when changing the "sub-pixel geometry" parameter value from RGB to None. As my Lubuntu version is set to French, this can be done through Menu/Preferences/Personnaliser l'apparence/ and select the Tab "Police" in the new windows or alternatively you can open a Xterm console and enter the "lxappearance" command and select the tab "Police".

Hope this can help.
