I wonder if this problem's root could be related to this?:

startx exits to black screen

Cannot replicate here on Stretch running TDE on somewhat newer yet old GeForce:
Graphics:  Card: NVIDIA NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400]
            Display Server: X.org 1.19.0 drivers: modesetting (unloaded: vesa)

Note use of modesetting rather than nouveau. Maybe purging
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is worth a try?
