Something that hasn't been mentioned explicitly is that NVidia
periodically retires support for older cards. When that happens, you

simply deleted his /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, and lo! Everything worked.
(Instead of deleting, I suggest renaming.)
3) I don't know what utilities exist these days to replace the xf86c
