You will have to *completely* uninstall the NVIDIA closed-source driver in
order to use the Mesa driver.  NVIDIA installs their own kernel module and
their own libGL, so it is impossible for both to live on the same system.

Well, last time I checked (2 months ago), nouveau drivers were bad for
my graphic card, its temperature increased until the system froze...
Have you heard of this issue and eventually a fix?

Usually this means that the fan throttling built-in to the card doesn't work correctly. Every NVIDIA card I've ever owned has had this problem... even with their own drivers. The usual solution is to use a fan-tweak utility to increase the fan speed.

I'll retry nouveau driver, but if the issue is still here, I'll have
to buy an ATI card.

If you're going to try and develop the drivers, you have to be able to run them. :)
