The "nv" driver of Xorg supports Geforce 6XXX cards, but it only offers 2D acceleration. If that is good enough for you (and assuming that the "e-Geforce" has the same chipset), it should be as easy as running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" as root, selecting the "nv" driver (should be auto-detected anyway) and starting X afterwards. If you want 3D acceleration then you will need the proprietary nvidia driver.
